France: Terrorist Attack at Notre Dame

Man shot in the chest after attacking a police officer with a hammer

On 6 June, French police shot and wounded a man who attempted to attack an officer with a hammer, outside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Police sources said the officers shot at the man after he had threatened them with a hammer and refused to stop. The attacker was shot and wounded in the chest and one officer was slightly injured. Police have advised those in the area to avoid the Cathedral over the next few hours. The motive for the attack is not yet know, although the incident is reportedly being treated as an attempted terrorist attack. France remains under a state of emergency that has been repeatedly extended following the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Paris attacks, Nice attack and series of murders by members and supporters of Islamic State.

Those operating or residing in France are advised to be aware of the serious threat of Islamic extremism and terrorism in the country. France has been the target of numerous Islamic extremist attacks in the past years and the country is on high alert. Report any suspicious packages, activity or behaviour to the local authorities and remain vigilant.
