PARIS (Update) - CNN affiliate BFMTV in France reported that gunmen were still at large after coordinated attacks rocked Paris Friday evening, according to French officials. French media reported that five suspected attackers have been "neutralized," the Paris prosecutor's office said. Terrorists -- some with AK-47s, some reportedly with bombs strapped to them -- attacked sites throughout the French capital and at the stadium where the soccer match was underway. More than 150 people have been killed, according to French officials. 

UNITED STATES (NEW YORK) - Heightened security measures have been implemented in New York City, located in the US state of New York, on 13 November. The counter-terrorism unit has been deployed to crowed areas around the city and at French government locations. US authorities have stated that the increase in security measures is a precautionary response to coordinated armed attacks in France's capital, Paris, on 13 November which has left more than 150 people dead. Although not in response to any specific threat, the increased security measures are likely to cause travel disruptions in the aforementioned locales. Amid the heightened security measures, clients in New York are advised to exercise caution in the vicinity of government buildings, security installations, major transport hubs, French government locations, high-profile hotels and crowded public areas. Any suspicious activity and/or packages should be reported to the authorities immediately.
