French Police repeat: STAY INDOORS // RESTE CHEZ SOI
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DON’T USE THE “PORTEOUVERTE” HASHTAG UNLESS YOU ARE IN PARIS AND READY TO OPEN YOUR HOME TO PEOPLE ON THE STREET. TO SHARE NEWS, PRAYERS, THOUGHTS AND OTHER THINGS, USE A DIFFERENT HASHTAG OR WAY OF COMMUNICATING SO THAT PEOPLE LOOKING FOR SHELTER CAN EASILY FIND A WAY TO STAY. THANK YOU!

POLICE HAVE ASKED EVERYONE TO STAY INSIDE.
Police know nothing of the killers, the French media is making references to Charlie Hebdo but nothing is confirmed yet. Attackers were most likely IS recruits, but it is not officially confirmed yet.
People were not allowed to leave stadium of Stade de France at first. Have been let go now. (Update: womenaregreatfighters says: at least two people at the stadium dead) Attack on stadium was supposedly made by suicide bomber. Two attacks: one at a McDonalds and one at a restaurant nearby. German football team is held up at stadium as borders are closed.
France has closed its borders (keep attackers from fleeing and keep outside threats out) and declared a national state of emergency. In regards to the closing of the borders: there is not a 100% closing, but there is heightened security and thorough screening taking place.
Schools, museums, libraries, gyms, swimming pools, markets etc will be closed tomorrow, Saturday.

“The French police have been alerted to keep an eye on refugee centers, in case revenge actions are committed. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE FLEEING FROM, DON’T LET THEM SUFFER FOR IT.” Keep an eye on your local refugee shelters as well. This can be important both in and out of Paris.
