9:43 p.m.: A suicide bomber blew himself up outside Cafe Comptoir Voltaire, a restaurant on the popular Boulevard Voltaire, with a red awning advertising “cuisine traditionnelle.”

A video posted online showed investigators in white suits photographing and examining the tattered remnants of a suicide vest. The video showed remnants of other clothing outside, where people had been spending their evening in red-and-white chairs at small round tables. It wasn’t clear whether the clothes belonged to patrons or the bomber.

Police said one customer was critically injured.
