Ninety people died at the Bataclan that night after Islamist terrorists opened fire on the crowd inside. Another 40 people were killed that night in attacks on bars, restaurants and at the Stade de France stadium. Families believe the death toll at the Bataclan would have been lower if soldiers had had the right to intervene when the attack was in its early stages. "There would not have been the heavy death toll of 90 victims if the soldiers had been able to intervene. Thousands of Sentinelle soldiers were sent out to patrol the streets of Paris in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris in January 2015 to guard sensitive sites and reassure the public.
