California Woman Abroad Describes Terrorist Attacks In Paris

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A California woman was one of many witnesses during Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris.

"We were sitting, eating dinner, and then we heard about eight to ten shots..." Margot Schmorak said via Skype.

Schmorak, who is in Paris for work, is from the Bay area, and was eating in a restaurant just one block from where dozens were murdered.

"At the end of the first round of gunshots, I saw people, I saw maybe six or seven, maybe ten people running around the corner from where the restaurant was located," Schmorak said. "There were two of us who could see the people, so we kind of said 'everybody get inside, there are gunshots', and it was pretty scary in the restaurant. There was a family with small children."
