US student killed in Paris attacks

A US student from California was killed in the Paris attacks, her university said Saturday.

It was the first word of an American being among the victims of the Friday night massacre.

The State Department said separately that some Americans were wounded in the deadly attacks but it did not specify how many.

The student killed in the string of shootings and explosions was identified as Nohemi Gonzalez, a third-year design student at California State University, Long Beach.

She was in Paris doing a semester abroad, studying at Strate College of Design, the university said. The State Department said it could not immediately confirm the death.
