When people hear Friday the 13, they automatically think of the movie with the serial killer Jason. On Friday, November 13, 2015, France was under attack. Paris, the city of light, was a target. Gunman killed 132 innocent lives, more than 350 injured, and many families devastated and frighten. When America was under attack on September 11, Paris remembered all those who have passed. On Friday, America did the same.  The killers targeted places where people were enjoying their Friday night. The attacks went through soccer games, concerts, and evening meals. Attackers held suicide bombings, hurled grenades, and shot hostages. French security forces flooded the streets from late Friday night to early Saturday morning. The French President wanted revenge since this was the second attack on them this year. Islamic extremists attacked a Jewish owned supermarket leaving 17 dead. It was a normal Friday until the undetected attacks happened. Within minutes from the first attack, Islamic supporters hailed " Paris in flames" and " Isis is attacking Paris". On Sunday, the government claimed that all eight attackers have been killed. Police also said that six attackers had detonated explosives and one was shot and killed by police, the eighth was urgently being sought. Later on, President Obama sent his condolences to France and said the  U.S stands with France. Also on November 13, many other places were devastated. In Japan, an earthquake and upcoming tsunami occurred. In Mexico, a hurricane killed many. In Colombia, 220,000 people were killed by FARC attackers. There is nothing wrong with this world but only the people in it. #PrayfroEveryone
