No known threat to U.S. as France faces terror, officials say

U.S. Homeland Security Department officials monitoring the attacks in Paris said early Friday evening there is no known, credible threat against the United States.

DHS officials are in contact with their foreign counterparts amid reports of multiple shootings and explosions in Paris.

Police officials in France say at least 26 people have been killed and a hostage-taking situation is underway at a theater.
