Photos and Social Media From the Paris Terrorist Attack
The Social Media Coming Out of Paris Is Heartbreaking
Our thoughts are with the people of Paris after the devastating terrorist attacks in France's capital on Friday. While Twitter is rife with varying accounts, The Associated Press reports that at least 129 are dead and 80 are critically injured and the majority of those deaths were hostages inside a concert hall.
In light of the attacks, Facebook added a feature that lets you check in and say you are safe if you live in Paris and President Obama made brief remarks about the situation.
Here are the photos and news coming out of social media. Warning: some of these images are graphic.
