I've been following this one, as I have people in the area. Not a lot being mentioned so far. Attacker went after a police officer with a hammer and they shot him. They HAVE called it a terrorist incident.

A man has been shot by police outside the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris after he tried to attack an officer using a hammer, French police say.


The suspect was wounded in the chest while the officer has minor injuries, media report. Officials say this is a "terrorist incident".


Tourists fled for cover as the attack occurred. Hundreds of people were at the cathedral at the time.

Also, they made a statement that it's 'under control'.

He was screaming, "This is for Allah!" according to sources on scene.

i believe you are conflating this with the london attack. reports are this particular terrorist said "this is for syria."
