Another 39 died on various terraces and restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements of Paris. One more person died at the Stade de France."
David Fritz Goeppinger, a 33-year-old Chile-born professional photographer and writer who moved to France as a child, attended an Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan on November 13, 2015. Attackers interrupted the show and carried out a coordinated assault across Paris between 9:20 p.m. and 1:40 a.m., killing 130 people and wounding 350, including 90 victims at the Bataclan. During the hostage situation Fritz hung from a window and later sheltered in a hallway with others, forming immediate friendships while awaiting a police assault. The Islamic State claimed responsibility, citing France's participation in coalition bombings.
