American photojournalist Shane McMillan was one of the first photographers on the scene of the attacks in the 11th district near the Bataclan concert hall on Friday night when the shootings broke out. The courtyard of the apartment building where he had been staying in Paris was turned into a triage center for victims. He continues to photograph the scene today in Paris.
