Several people were reportedly killed and more injured in three different shootings in Paris' 10th and 11th arrondissements, French news agency France 24 has reported, along with a CNN affiliate in France

The first reported shooting occurred at Le Cambodge restaurant in the 10th arrondissement. The shooter reportedly opened fire on the restaurant with an AK-47.

Casualties were also reported after a shooter opened fire at the Bataclan, a popular concert venue in the 10th arrondissement, which is a few hundred yards from the old offices of Charlie Hebdo, according to the Telegraph. The shooting is reportedly ongoing.

Explosions, which local media is now attributing to a suicide bomber, were also reported near Stade de France, where the French national soccer team was playing Germany. 

French President Francois Hollande, according to reports, has been evacuated from the stadium.

It is unclear if the incidents are related.
