How are the people there dealing with these attacks . Reporter well, ive got to tell you, dan, the irony of this sunday is that it is a gorgeous day here in paris. A blue sky overhead and people have been lighting candles all throughout this city.

This city is trying to collectively hug one another. Theyve never seen anything like quite like this dan. All right, david. Thank you. Well see more of you on world news tonight. Among the 129 dead weve mentioned her, a Young American student lost her life at the restaurant targeted in the attacks. Nohemi gonzalez was studying abroad for a semester, and matt gutman is at the scene for us this morning. Hi, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, paula. This is the french bistro where gonzalez was gunned down along with 14 others. I want to show you the sheer number of bullet holes that pocked the facade of this restaurant and shattered its glass. We know there are other americans who have been wounded in this attack. Their names have not been publicly released. [ sirens ] reporter amidst this carnage american blood mixing with that of parisians. Its horrible. Its like war. Crazy. Reporter nohemi gonzalez, gunned down at one of the four restaurants attacked.

Happy birthday dear nohemi reporter this video from 012 shows gonzalez celebrating her birthday with Close Friends and family. I feel lost, sadness. Reporter but this morning, her parents grappling with the loss of their only daughter. Nohemi was a very strong woman. When she went to do something she committed to whatever she wanted to do.

The wounded herself, she cradled her dying boyfriend in her airports. He was nick alexander, the manager of the American Band playing at that theater, but one couple in terrors clutch did find each other that night. Benjamin and celia were on a date night at the bataclan. We are things like sounded like firecrackers. Reporter then everybody next to them mowed down. We were covered with blood. Reporter speaking emotionally to abc news celia says they walked right by us. In Perfect French he said, you killed our brothers in syria and now were here. Reporter they were separated. We were climbing corpses, you know. Reporter climbing over corpses to get out. I was keeping thinking, i cant die here. Reporter and the reason they couldnt die here is because they had two daughters waiting for them at home, and they were not going to leave them orphans. I want to show you something that pretty much sums up the mood here in paris. Someone just moments ago left this note in english. It says, let your faith be bigger than your fear. Paula, dan. Thanks, matt. Matt gutman in paris, and now an abc news exclusive. Hanna corbett and jack konda were just eight rows from the stage in that concert hall when the gunfire began and they managed to escape. We thank you both for being with us this morning. And i ask i got to ask when did you first realize that something was very badly wrong during the show . So coming towards the end of the concert and we heard this crackling noise like firecrackers, and then we realized well, i realized that something wasnt right and it wasnt part of the concert when the lead singers face just dropped and he ran offstage himself. I think people just sort of started dropping to the floor row by row, and as they did, we sort of just did the same, followed suit and thats when i realized. Jack, we understand that you actually moved to protect hanna. What exactly did you do . I dont know. Its a bit of a foggy memory, but i think i just sort of pushed hanna to the floor and lay on top of her essentially. You did that to protect her . Everyone was just hugging. Everyone was just doing that. Yes, yeah. And, hanna, what did you both do to get out of there . So, when the lights went on and there was no movement and everyone was just holding each other, that was a point where we thought that was it but then there was crawling towards the left of the stage where the fire exit was. I picked up on this, and we started to crawl ourselves. Some people were not moving, so you had to climb over these people which was a bit horrible and you had to climb over these people in the stairs where they piled up. So we were crawling and then we managed to scramble our way over these people in the stairs to get outside to the fire exit to the alley. Did either of you hear anything that the gunmen were saying or screaming as they entered the building . I as i say, its not something i remember clearly, but i dont seem to remember them saying anything, just the sound of gunfire. It was quite silent. That was quite scary. Yeah, after the initial gasps, i dont really think there was any sound other than gunfire. There was no screaming or anything, just silence and the hollow sound of gunfire. So, we understand that you are some of the first people out of that concert hall, but how are you guys doing after this terrifying ordeal . I can only imagine the emotions. Yeah, i think both still sort of taking it in. Just feeling very, very lucky and obviously devastated for that so many werent as lucky as we were. Yeah, its really heartbreaking really. Its really heartbreaking. Jack and hanna, we really appreciate your time this morning. Thank you very much, and we are glad that youre both okay. Thanks for having us. Thank you. Meanwhile, this morning the global investigation is under way, and, in fact, fbi agents are heading to paris. The pressing question, of course, who were the seven people who carried out these attacks, and abc news chief investigative correspondent brian ross is covering that angle for us. Brian, good morning. Well, good morning, dan. Authorities today are urgently seeking more possible accomplices in the attack and say they have now captured at least one member of the isis attack team who managed to escape before being found across the border in belgium. The suspect was captured in this neighborhood in brussels, belgium, home to a Large Community of syrian immigrants. Three people were taken into custody including one man who Authorities Say was caught on surveillance tape in a rental car used in the paris attack french prosecutors say there were three separate teams in the synchronize d attacks, each member well trained and wearing identical suicide vests. Officials also revealed that one of the gunmen at the massacre in the concert hall was a 30yearold french citizen who had been flagged as a possible terrorist five years ago, but never charged with a serious crime. They did not have enough people to follow all of the suspects on their list of people who have been radicalized and who may be isis supporters. Reporter according to greek authorities, at least one of the attackers came into europe as a refugee from syria, arriving at the island of laras in early october just five weeks before the attack. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] reporter an indication, Authorities Say, of a new effort by isis commanders to plan major attacks beyond iraq and syria. There is a specific unit on the Organization Chart of isis for external attacks for planning and carrying out attacks in western europe and in the united states. Reporter at the end of october, isis took credit for bringing down a russian passenger jet over egypt with a bomb. On thursday, isis claimed responsibility for a massive bomb attack in beirut, lebanon, and then friday, paris carried out by what french authorities now say was a wellhidden isis terror cell and for the first time the group produced propaganda messages about it in four languages, french. [ speaking french ] reporter arabic. [ speaking arabic ] reporter russian. [ speaking russian ] reporter and english in what sounded to some like an american or canadian accent. Indeed, this is just the beginning. Reporter authorities this morning will continue to use documents, dna and fingerprints to identify all of the attackers. In one case a detached finger found in the debris at the concert hall was used to determine the identity of a gunman who blew himself up, dan. The amount of sophistication here on the part of isis is extremely well planned. Brian, thank you. And a Disturbing Development in these attacks, a passport found next to the body of one of the attackers raises the possibility that he was a syrian who entered europe posing as a refugee. Now, critics have said that allowing free entry to hundreds of thousands of refugees risks making it easier for extremists to slip through the security net so lets bring in abc news consultant matt olsen in washington. Hes the former head of the National Counterterrorism center. Matt, good morning to you. Good morning. In light of the refugee crisis, we are allowing 10,000 Syrian Refugees into our country. Is that going to change in light of this development . You know, paula, i would not expect that that number so change. That is a relatively manageable number particularly when you consider the total number of Syrian Refugees, which exceeds 3 million syrians who fled the country. So what exactly will the vetting process be in taking these refugees into america . How can we feel safe here at home . The u. S. Has a very intensive process for vetting refugees. It can take as long as two years. It includes checking databases within the intelligence agencies, the department of defense, the department of homeland security. It includes interviews, the collection of biographic information, so its a very intensive vetting process. Of course, the issue is its only as good as the intelligence information and its difficult to get intelligence from syria. It is and you mentioned that massive wave of Syrian Refugees, were taking in 10,000 but there are millions. What is the u. S. Doing to help European Security agencies. Yeah, here the key is to cooperate and share information with our allies in europe to make sure that they have the latest information because the problem is not just the refugees, but its the flow of foreign fighters back and forth from syria to western europe. It is a crisis and there so many concerns about it this morning. Matt, thanks for joining us. This is going to be a big issue going forward. Thank you, matt and paula. President obama, meanwhile, speaking out this morning while at a meeting of World Leaders in turkey. Here is what he had to say. The skies have been darkened by that horrific attacks that took place in paris. We stand in solidarity with them in hunting down the perpetrators of this crime and bringing them to justice. So, this question this morning, does this mean the u. S. And its allies are going to step up the fight against isis . Lets bring in abc news chief Foreign Affairs correspondent martha raddatz. Martha, good morning. Good morning, dan. Curious to see what you and your sources are thinking this morning. Do you think these will provoke an escalation by america and its allies . I think there will be a strong response probably militarily by the french. The french have already been bombing in syria, going after isis targets, but they havent done very many. So i would suspect they would do more, but think about this, dan, back in february when the jordanian pilot was killed, burned alive by isis, the jordanians i was over there at the time. The jordanians really stepped up the air strikes but they gradually faded off and i dont think jordan has done an air strike there for a long time. Most of those arab countries are now concentrating on targets in yemen. So, if they step it up, the real key is sustaining this fight, sustaining these air strikes. Followthrough will be the issue. We are, as everybody knows, in the middle of a president ial campaign here at home. Some of the republican president ial candidates have been attacking president obama quite vigorously for not being aggressive enough on isis. Let me quote senator ted cruz from texas who said, i recognize barack obama does not wish to defend this country. So, are you hearing any concrete plans from these critics to do Football Games<\/a> and gatherings all over america on this sunday morning as the world shows solidarity with the people of france. Good morning, and welcome to this special edition of gma. So many new developments and new images streaming out of paris right now. Look at this new video in which you see the beginning of the attack on that concert hall. You could hear it right there. Shots ringing out toward the end of a sold out show.

So, are you hearing any concrete plans from these critics to do Something Different<\/a> on isis . Well, i think they will really take a hard look at this now. They have to take a hard look at this now. And you just heard matt olsen say, but this is a real Law Enforcement<\/a> problem at this point. Yes, theyre doing this militarily. Theyre going after Training Camp<\/a>s. There was a Training Camp<\/a> in afghanistan a few months ago they found, but this is Law Enforcement<\/a>. They have to understand how these people are getting into these european countries, what you can try to do to stop people going to syria and coming back, and that is a real manpower issue. Do we, do they have the people to track, to track these people who go into syria, and i think the answer is probably no, so theyre going to take a hard look, not only at the military campaign, but the Law Enforcement<\/a> issues, as well, which is the key here. The Law Enforcement<\/a> side and the military side and the question of whether to put more boots on the ground, something americans dont seem to have at this point a lot of appetite for. Martha, thank you. We appreciate your guidance this morning. And we do want to take a brief break from our paris coverage t powerful storm heading to the Pacific Northwest<\/a> and rain in california and mount snow, cold across the east and rebounding nicely with sunny skies this afternoon.

Thursday, the next chance of rain, but its mild in the mid 60s. Thats it for action news, well be back in a halfhour, stay tuned for good morning. Welcome back to this special edition of gma. This chilling new video right now from inside that packed concert hall in paris. The moment automatic gunfire rings out. Panic and horror as the band reacts to the gunmen storming the theater. These attacks inside the heart of the french capital killed 129 people including an American College<\/a> student from california. Also right now, president obama calling this synchronized terror assault, quote, an attack on the civilized world as he arrives in turkey for the start of the g20 summit of World Leaders<\/a>, but already the president taking a lot of heat for just days ago saying that we have contained isis. Well, on that note we do want to say good morning, america, alongside dan harris, im paula faris. We have so much we want to get to in the aftermath of the deadly attacks. We go to terry moran right there in paris. Terry, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Well, as the investigation accelerates, the security situation here remains tentative. Major events that are likely to draw a crowd are being canceled. Even Church Services<\/a> in this neighborhood. People had questions about whether they should come to church. Under the state of emergency here, police are still advising people to stay indoors, but its sunny out. Its warm, and its paris, and that would be wrong and the boulevards are full of people who are slowly taking their city back. This morning [ bells tolling ] there were prayers for the victims and survivors, for the whole city. Paris is grieving. So famous for its night life, but this weekend, the city of light was transformed into a city of panic. And now saturday night we went out and about, and it was eerie to see paris so still, so somber. On a normal saturday night this street is usually packed with people but tonight its dead. The eiffel tower darkened indefinitely, deserted. The few parisians who did venture out almost seemed on a mission. If i live in fear they won. Reporter we found more people gathering quietly at the makeshift memorials but while we were there at the Place De La Republique<\/a> [ speaking french ] weve just heard the police tell this crowd to disperse for their own safety, its part of the state of emergency in paris right now, emotions are running very high, theyre doing it very gently but they want these people to go home. The city of light dimmed. Theres no question that those lights will grow brighter but theres also a realization among parisians that this, unfortunately, is part of life in the modern world here and elsewhere. Paula. And we are fighting a new enemy. Terry, thank you for that. With terrorism on everyones mind, the democratic you terror and Hillary Clinton<\/a> under renewed attack. Abcs cecilia vega is in des moines, iowa, for us this morning. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hi, paula. Good morning to you. Thats right. Bernie sanders and Martin Omalley<\/a> definitely on the attack last night but the somber tone that this debate started out with, it wasnt supposed to be this way. After those attacks in paris, the moderators quickly shifted focus and this quickly became a debate about national security. The terror attacks in paris taking center stage in iowa. As france mourns, so does america. Political fireworks replaced with a moment of silence. The three candidates vying for the democratic nomination all focused on one thing. This barbarous Organization Called<\/a> isis. Isis, make no mistake about it, is an evil in the world. It cannot be contained. It must be defeated. Reporter but exactly how to battle isis up for debate. This cannot be an american fight, although American Leadership<\/a> is essential. Reporter frontrunner Hillary Clinton<\/a> under attack from the two men trailing her in the polls. Former Maryland Governor<\/a> Martin Omalley<\/a>. This actually is americas fight. It cannot be solely americas fight. America is best when we work in collaboration with other allies. Reporter and vermont senator Bernie Sanders<\/a> going after clintons 2002 senate vote to invade iraq. I would argue that the disastrous invasion of iraq, something that i strongly opposed, has unraveled the region completely. Reporter but there is one thing they do agree on. Let me concur with you and with all americans who are shocked and disgusted by what we saw in paris yesterday. Our prayers are with the people of france tonight, but that is not enough. Reporter but the sharpest exchange of the night sanders slamming clinton for her ties to wall street. Her response invoke iing 9 11 is making some big headlines this morning, guys. Take a listen. I represented new york and i represented new york on 9 11 when we were attacked, where were we attacked . We were attacked in Downtown Manhattan<\/a> where wall street is. I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild. That was good for new york. It was good for the economy and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country. Reporter yes, this was a very different debate on every level, both in tone and again in omalley and sanders going strong after clinton. Dan and paula, as you both know, she enjoys a doubledigit lead in iowa. That response, as you mentioned, drawing criticism from those in her party, as well. Thank you, cecilia, and be sure to join abc news chief anchor George Stephanopoulos<\/a> for the latest on the terror attacks in paris coming up on this week a little bit later this morning on abc.

These coordinated attacks in paris have authorities here in america taking a closer look at socalled soft targets beefing up security at major Public Events<\/a> including sports stadiums and other gatherings around the country, and abcs gio benitez is in front of the Metlife Stadium<\/a> in east rutherford, new jersey, where the giants face the patriots this morning. Gio, good morning. Reporter dan, good morning to you. Nearly a million fans will be packing the stadiums all across this country today. Police say the nfl already has a good security plan in place. But theyre stepping it up even more. Metal detectors, patdowns and bag searches from stadiums and tourist hot spots to campuses and concerts. Overnight public venues across the country taking dramatic steps to tighten security in the wake of fridays attacks. With tens of thousands of fans funneling into the rose bowl saturday, more officers and canine units on patrol. Security posted in the parking lots in tampa bay in preparation for tonights game and the nfl with 12 games today and another tomorrow, more than 900,000 fans to pour into stadiums. In a statement the league promising an increased security inside and outside. The nba doing the same keeping the specifics of those plans under wraps. In americas largest cities the effort to prepare for the worst a full time job. In new york were here to ensure that new yorkers feel safe. Reporter Police Ramping<\/a> up patrols. The nypd activating as many as 400 extra counterterrorism officers on the streets and placing additional officers in the citys subway stations. In l. A. , Police Routinely<\/a> running dramatic simulations, this one in july, officers rappelling out of helicopters, these measures an effort to protect vulnerable venues with a high volume of visitors. Soft targets are everywhere. But you do the best you can, and you deploy your resources as effectively as you can. Reporter destinations like the mall of america, which sees over 40 million visitors each year, particularly susceptible. Terror groups even encouraging attacks on that Shopping Center<\/a> in february. And right now there is no known threat, but no doubt everyone will be on high alert because youve got the thanksgiving day parade coming our way. Youve got those two tree lightings in new york and d. C. So police want to make sure youre vigilant. If you see something suspicious, just report it, paula. If you see something, say something. Gio, thank you. And for more on the terrorists that mefrps face here at home, we want to bring in abc news senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas<\/a> in washington. Pierre, thanks for joining us. You just heard gio talking about these soft targets, the arenas and the malls. Whats the plan to protect these targets here in the u. S. . The key is trying to get intelligence about who isis is communicating with. There are dozens of fbi terror investigations under way right now. We saw them peak around the fourth of july holiday and theres another surge under way as a result of those attacks in france. There are so many venues in this country like malls and restaurants that simply dont have a lot of security, and the only way you can prevent these kind of assaults is to stop them before they happen before plots can fully take shape, paula. And the french had recently stepped up their antiterror efforts because of Charlie Hebdo<\/a> just this past january. How much concern is there that the french werent able to uncover this latest plot . Reporter a key question, why did this go undetected . We dont have the answers yet. Theres one possibility u. S. Officials are pondering, the worry that radicals may have been using a new form of encryption to hide their communications. The fbi director has recently warned about what he calls going dark. He said theyve been able to track Isis Communications<\/a> on social media only to see certain players disappear off the grid. If thats what took place in france, it would signal a severe new problem. And, pierre, the fbi is sending a team to paris. What will their role be . The fbi is preparing a team of investigators to support the french if a request is made. The team is expected to include experts in forensics, specifically cell phone and computer information recovery and with americans injured and among the dead, the fbi wants to help any way it can, paula. All right, pierre, thanks for joining us from washington this morning. And coming up here on gma, the world paying tribute to the people of france. Terry bradshaw .
