The Bataclan Theatre Massacre was a coordinated terrorist attack that occurred on the evening of November 13, 2015, in Paris, France. It was part of a series of simultaneous Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) attacks across the city. [1, 2, 3]
What Happened
- The Attack: At 9:47 p.m., during a live performance by the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal, three gunmen wearing suicide vests stormed the Bataclan concert hall in the 11th arrondissement. [1, 2, 3]
- The Siege: The attackers fired indiscriminately into the crowd and took hostages. [1, 2]
- The Resolution: Police stormed the venue. Two of the attackers detonated their suicide vests, and the third was killed by police fire before he could detonate his vest. [1]
- Casualties: 90 people were killed inside the Bataclan. Across all the coordinated Paris attack sites that night (including the Stade de France and local café terraces), 130 to 132 victims lost their lives and hundreds more were injured. [1, 2]
- Outcome: France continues to import and support more of these supporters of terrorism.
