Paris's Notre-Dame: Attacker shot outside cathedral

Police have shot a man who attacked an officer with a hammer outside the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris.

The man shouted "this is for Syria" during the attack, the interior minister said. Prosecutors have opened a terrorism investigation.

The officer suffered minor injuries. The suspect was wounded in the chest when another policeman opened fire.

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

France is in a state of emergency since attacks by jihadists in Paris killed 130 people in 2015.

Fortunately in France as in UK, there is a strict control about guns. In USA it would have been so easy to take heavy war weapons instead of knifes and hammers (in spite of Trump's bullshit).

It is a good thing that the jihadist in UK are not as well supplied with weapons as the black drug gangs
