Parisians Use Hashtag #PorteOuverte, "Open Door," for Those Seeking Shelter Amid Attacks

In the midst of a series of alleged terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night that have left at least 129 dead and more than 350 wounded, some Twitter users in the city immediately began using the hashtag #PorteOuverte, or "open door," to offer their homes as shelter for those afraid to be on the streets with nowhere to go.

Social media users were tweeting invitations to their homes for those who might "need help" or a "place to sleep." Those offering said they would provide their address to those interested through direct messages. Others included their addresses in the tweets.
