Paris Attackers Killed Concertgoers Hiding in Dressing Room: Band

Concertgoers trying to escape crazed gunmen in the Paris attacks fled into the dressing room of the American rock group Eagles of Death Metal, two band members said in an interview with VICE news.

But the hiding spot offered no safety.

"The killers were able to get in and killed every one of them, except for a kid who was hiding under my leather jacket," frontman Jesse Hughes said in an interview that will be posted on VICE's website next week.

The band was performing at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on Nov. 13 when three gunmen stormed the hall and opened fire. The attack killed 89 people, and occurred during a series of coordinated terror attacks in Paris.
