I was listening to NPR while driving and the breaking news of this was just coming in. They said it was at a restaurant though? I will have to google this. Just awful.

At least 18 people were killed in an outbreak of explosions and at least one shootout in Paris Friday, according to police. It was unclear if the events were linked.

Police in Paris told NBC News that several people had been shot at a restaurant in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, around the same time as at least one other incident.

The Associated Press reported that two explosions were heard outside of the Stade de France north of Paris. France's football team was playing Germany's at the Stade de France at the time of the explosion.

A police official confirmed one explosion at a McDonald's near the stadium. The game was not stopped, police told NBC News.

Officers were being dispatched to sites around the 10th arrondissement, which is about four miles from the Stade de France, police told NBC News. It was unclear if the incidents were related.

France has been on edge since Islamic extremists attacked the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher grocery store early this year. Twenty people, including three attackers, were left dead in the terror.

The restaurant targeted Friday, Le Carillon, is in the same general neighborhood as the Charlie Hebdo offices, according to the AP.

In August, a gunman armed with an AK-47 opened fire on an Amsterdam-to-Paris train in France before being subdued by passengers, including three Americans. Three people were injured.

Global security firm Flashpoint Intelligence said Friday that it had not seen any terror-related claims in the immediate aftermath of the string of violence. "We're definitely not seeing any claim from any group, we're not seeing any claim of response from any individuals," and there is very little chatter online, Laith Alkhouri, director of research and analysis for Middle East and North Africa for Flashpoint, said on MSNBC

This is heartbreaking. I need to turn on CNN and watch. Any idea who is behind it yet?
