Obama: Shootings in Paris an ‘attack on all of humanity’

President Obama on Friday night condemned the series of attacks that reportedly have killed dozens of people, calling them an “attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share.”

French officials have reported multiple shootings and at least two explosions at the Stade de France stadium. As of 6 p.m. EST Friday, the Associated Press had reported 35 people dead in the attacks, and at least 100 people being held in Bataclan concert hall.

Obama stressed that U.S. officials do not yet know the details of what happened, but said the U.S. would offer assistance to the government and people of France. The U.S. is “going to do whatever it takes to work with the French people and with nations around the world to bring these terrorists to justice,” he said.

Secretary of State John Kerry echoed Obama’s message. “These terrorist attacks will only deepen our shared resolve,” he said.
