“The‎ United States Embassy in Paris is working round the clock to assist American citizens affected by this tragedy,” State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement Saturday. “The U.S. government is working closely with French authorities to identify American victims. We are aware there are Americans among the injured, and are offering them the full range of consular assistance.”

“This is what we can say now; we’ll keep you posted as we are able to be more forthcoming publicly,” Toner said.

The State Department has posted a number on social media outlets for family and friends to call to inquire about loved ones who are in Paris. The social media accounts have also encouraged those in Paris to either contact family or use social media to let their loved ones know that they are safe. SOURCE
