Police have responded to an alert at Paris's ND cathedral amid reports of gunshots and panic.

Officials warned people to stay away from the area saying there was an "incident" at the popular tourist attraction.

Perp shot twice but still alive. One officer head wound when perp attacked him. Perp shot within minutes. No attack on anybody else, thank goodness. No report if it is terrorism or one nutcase with issues. Witness inside Notre Dame says about a thousand people inside and calm. I’m listening to Fox News who have reports coming from Sky News.

Let me rephrase that... a 5.56 makes one whole bunch more thunder than a handgun. (I wasn’t implying auto fire.)

It was probably ten years ago that I suggested we start a program to relocate Europe’s artistic and architectural treasures to the U.S. before it’s too late. We couldn’t save everything, but Notre Dame would make the list. The suggestion is no longer tongue in cheek.

My suspicion was the guy was trying to get inside to light off a bomb.

If hammers are outlawed, only outlaws will have hammers.

Yep, and one of the NRA's best bumper stickers ever can be applied to many situations.

[glock rocks]

Makes sense with such a large crowd inside.

[Will88]

Well, they moved London Bridge in more peaceful times, so why not move some of the others.

No doubt with his mooslem brothers celebrating ramadan because he sure hates devout Catholics.

Per above link, perp also had 3 knives on him. And a computer.

Perp also managed to injure a soldier/officer, striking the good guy in the head with the hammer.

How the heck was the perp allowed to get that close?!

Killing tourism.

Did BOR compose a new book?

Rose and Valerie were typical liberals!

Travel to Japan or South Korea. Minimal moozlums-wanting-to-murder-you there.

I think they could have identified this character by now, but we might be in for a long wait for any further information, as is usually the case.

And it'll probably take days to determine why a man was wielding a hammer, if ever. Maybe we'll get a description before midnight here in the US.

Wny wait for the MSM report? It involves a cop (guilty guilty guilty) and a hammer attacking muslim (oppressed minority). We already know what the US headline would read or how distorted it would be.

Islam is not a religion. It is a political ideology that promotes violence, hatred, intolerance and subjugation of women.

When will the leaders say how safe the city is and there’s nothing to worry about? Then attack Trump.

Imagine you are standing on line at the bank, convenience store, drycleaner, or wherever.
Then the person behind you (who was pleasant and smiling) pulls a hammer from their belt and hits you in the skull.

It is difficult to remain perpetually on-guard in a non-combat and typical civilian environment.
This could even happen with a trained person who is very regularly in Condition Yellow.
