CBS Sacramento caught up with Deftones singer Chino Moreno, who was in Paris at the time of the recent terrorist attacks. The band was due to play Paris today (November 14th).

According to the report, Moreno said he was at dinner earlier when shots rang out. His security team managed to him and his family back to their hotel room, where they remain on lockdown.

Moreno said a couple of other bandmates were at the hall to check out another band, but they left minutes before the gunmen stormed the Bataclan.

“Yeah, we’re safe,” he said. “We weren’t scheduled to play at the Bataclan until tomorrow night. A couple of band members, they went to the concert, but they left early—after the first few songs they ended up leaving the venue. They got out of there and all of our band and crew are safe and accounted for at the hotel now. So, we are just here, we’re pretty much on lockdown. They told everybody pretty much to stay indoors and don’t go out, because they’re still—everything is still unfolding as we speak.”
