Rescue workers were in the evening still searching the rubble for two missing individuals who had not been accounted for, according to French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo assembled a crisis unit and wrote on Twitter: "My thoughts go first and foremost to the victims and their loved ones." Florence Berthout, mayor of the 5th district in central Paris, said the main building affected is a private fashion school -- called Paris American Academy -- adjoining the former Val-de-Grace military hospital.
Alexis, a 23-year-old student living across from the building, said he heard "a huge bang", and then his windows were blown out.
