CNN: Reporter inside concert hall escapes. Says it's a blood bath. People hiding inside are texting, but are no police inside.
Update: Police finally stormed the concert hall---14 reportedly rescued---two terrorist inside killed.
Sad Update: Just this very morning:
"Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” President Barack Obama seemingly downplayed the threat of ISIS in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired on Friday’s broadcast of “Good Morning America.”
Stephanopoulos asked Obama if ISIS was gaining in strength, to which Obama denied they were.
“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”
Sadder Update: News service now reporting 100 dead inside concert hall.
