Shocking events in Paris

Post by Ciaran » Fri Nov 13, 2015 10:41 pm

Gunmen on the loose in Paris, 40 dead, 100 people being held hostage.

What the hell are we coming to these days, I really don't know.

RIP.

I echo your sentiments Ciaran - really shocking and distressing! My wife heard via a call to her Mum earlier today and I have not dared put on the news! Regards, Matthew T.

The death toll was at least twice that by this morning - a lot of the hostages were shot!
