apparently, hollande and obama talked as soon as hollande got to safety (he was watching the match, france-germany in the stade de france when it got bombed).
obama did a press conference, apparently. same usual thing, "france is the oldest ally... this attack is against all of the free world... liberté, égalité, fraternité" (in french)
so, thanks obama for the support.
no clear idea who the perps are. daesh did call for an attack in france a few days back, but it could be any number of terrorist organization, for now.
eta: the three terrorists who shot up the bataclan theater got taken down. all dead. my sister's best friend lives two streets away, she heard the gunfire. and my fwb had some friends going to the show tonight.
my bewilderment is turning into moderate anxiety.
