Distraught family and friends have launched a desperate search for loved ones feared dead in the ISIS Paris massacre.
At least 127 people have killed and more than 300 taken to hospital
after eight militants carried out a series of co-ordinated attacks
across the French capital.
Parents have been taking to Twitter in the hope of finding news of their
missing children while mourners across Paris and the world held vigils
for the dead.
Many have shared pictures and information about their loved ones with the hashtag ‘RechercheParis’ – which means ‘search Paris’
Many of those missing were at the Bataclan concert hall last night,
where as many as 80 people were shot dead during a heavy metal gig by US
band, Eagles of Death.
Among them was Nick Alexander(pictured above)was with his American
girlfriend Helen Wilson when gunman stormed the complex before blowing
themselves up.
She told how they were forced to lie on the ground as every time anyone
moved they were shot. But he was fatally wounded when someone attracted
the gunman’s attention while trying to make a break for freedom.
Helen was left desperately trying to resuscitate him while the gunmen
lurked ‘in the shadows’ – but was carried out without knowing if he
survived.
Speaking from her hospital bed in Paris, Helen told The Telegraph: ‘Then
he couldn’t breathe any more and I held him in my arms and told him I
loved him. He was the love of my life.’
