Complicated is a definite understatement. I recall doing GCSE studies on the 'Troubles' back as the Good Friday Accords were being worked out.

Around a hundred hostages reported. Reports of 35-40 fatalities in the attacks so far. The France vs Germany game has ended but the stadium is still closed so most of the fans are wandering around on the pitch trying to figure out what has happened.
EDIT: The Californian band 'Eagles of Death Metal' were playing at the concert venue and were an hour into their gig when the hostage situation began.
