In a somber address, President Obama vowed to work with French officials to bring “terrorist networks to justice.”

“We stand together with the people of France. This is an attack not just on Paris. This is an attack on all of humanity and the values that we share,” Obama said.

The president did not confirm who might be responsible for the attacks, saying that he did not want to speculate.
