I was down the road from the club in Paris when it was attacked

Boston College student Haley Cormier was just 10 minutes away from the club in Paris when it was attacked by terrorists, killing over 100.

She said: “I wasn’t scared but appalled. It’s nauseating so many people were murdered.”

We spoke to her about what she experienced in Paris tonight.

I didn’t hear the bombs. That was just at the stadium. I was having dinner with my French friend and her boyfriend and his cousin, in the area of Paris where everything happened.

We were in his place for dinner and I was sitting next to my friend on the couch. She was just scrolling through her phone and saw something about a shooting. She paused and was surprised, and said this kind of thing doesn’t really happen here.

I Googled it to see if there was an English article and I saw there was a shooting. The story live updated and it said there had been a bombing at a soccer stadium.

That’s when I started to thinking it was too unlikely for both to happen in the same night. I decided at that point that they were connected.

More and more the story started snowballing and more details are emerging like the President being there and that it wasn’t a grenade attack but suicide bombs.

It happened in different locations with different deaths and wounded tolls. I saw it first when there were just three dead and now it’s over 140.

I was a 10 minute walk from the club where over 100 people were shot. We’re a few blocks from there. I’ve been hearing sirens for hours.

The city is now on lockdown, there’s a curfew. I have seven friends from Boston College in Paris who are safe.

It was scary contacting people but everyone’s accounted for. My mom knows I’m safe.

I thought, “This is crazy. This is unbelievable and terrifying at the same time.” This past January there was the Charlie Hebdo attack, which made such a shockwave. That was 17 people and this is 140 and still rising.

There’s still so much we don’t know. Everyone’s sitting at home watching TV.

I wasn’t scared but appalled. It’s nauseating so many people were murdered.
