At least 120 people were killed and many more were injured in a series of shootings and bombings across multiple locations in Paris Friday evening.

Residents of countries all over the world were shocked, alarmed, and saddened for the people of France. Online, the hashtag #PrayForParis took over social media, and a Paris peace sign symbol was posted by hundreds of thousands.

Over the weekend, major cities around the globe paid tribute to the victims by brightly illuminating landmarks with the colors of the French flag.
