Gunmen open fire on customers inside Le Carillon, a resto-bar on Alibert Street in Paris's central 10th arrondissement. They also fire on a nearby Cambodian restaurant, Petit Cambodge. Fourteen people are killed. Journalist Olivier Boy is quoted by French media as saying "terrorists arrived by car, and came in and started shooting."
