Paris attacks include deaths outside stadium

French president Francois Hollande was evacuated from the Stade de France during France's friendly match against Germany on Friday after two loud explosions were heard outside the ground during the first half.

The explosions took place around 15 minutes into the game. It is unclear whether there were casualties there.

Elsewhere in Paris, two police officials said at least 26 people have been killed in shootings and explosions, in the deadliest violence in France in decades. A police official said 11 people were killed in a Paris restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, and about 15 killed in the Bataclan theater, where a hostage-taking is under way.
