A WOMAN who survived being shot six times in the Paris terrorist attack has been hailed a “miracle” after she woke up from her coma.

    Laura Croix was shot several times in the upper chest and abdomen, with one bullet just about missing her heart, while watching Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan on Nov. 13.

    The 31-year-old has undergone 10 life-saving operations, and spent two weeks in a coma, before finally starting to talk in the past few days.

    A total of 130 people died in last month’s attacks on the Bataclan concert hall, the Stade de France and a number of bars and restaurants in Paris.

    Croix was one of 352 people injured who are now recovering from the physical and psychological wounds inflicted on them in the shootings and bombings across the French capital.

    She was standing in the crowd at the Bataclan where she was shot three times in the chest and three times in the abdomen.

    She fractured an arm and a hip and severed two of her fingers. Doctors were forced to perform a tracheotomy in order to save her life.

    Croix finally woke up from her coma Dec. 10, and has started to communicate with her family, first through eye movements and more recently she is talking again, asking questions about the attacks.

    “The first thing she wanted to know was what happened,” her brother Sebastien Croix told The Sunday Times.

    Her family hopes that Croix, a singer, will be able to stand on a stage again, but she may be in the hospital for another year.
