I am in shock for several reasons. I spend a lot of time in France and while I don't know the band who played at the death metal concert, I do know one of the band members and I if it had been in the UK it is likely a lot of my friends could have been at this concert.
From facebook sources it looks like Muslim extremists is the source of these attacks but only time will verify that (and the sources may well be wrong) . I am not sure if the borders are closed as such as it looks like it is business as usual on Eurostar although they are offering free exchanges.
I really feel sorry for the people of Paris. When my last trip to France went a bit wrong the French people helped me out so much despite me not really speaking much French they could not have helped me more. To me the French are our neighbours, our brothers and I feel more upset about these attacks than if it were in the America etc.
