A tourist live-tweeted the incident from inside Notre Dame. Of note, he was in London for the London Bridge attack:
OK maybe 'trapped' was too strong a word. something was happening outside we don't know what it is but they're not letting anyone in or out

Reports indicate that a gunman was out front the police have shot him. I cannot confirm this b/cme and my family are stuck in the church
