(PHOTO SPLASH) Here's what it's like in Paris today (#Parisattacks)

Paris is mourning after 129 people were killed in a wave of terrorist attacks on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

Another 352 people were injured, 99 of them critically, Paris' prosecutor said at a press conference on Saturday. At least one of the fatalities was an American woman. At least two other Americans were injured.

Seven of the attackers had been killed, either by police or by detonating themselves, as of Saturday.

Dina Spector, an editor at Business Insider's London bureau, reported from the French capital and took photos at the Avenue de la Republique.

The area was relatively empty for a Saturday morning.
