the crudest of devices, simply a hammer this time, and going straight for those policemen and women or military personnel who have been guarding paris monuments. so, i think this could prove and of course, we have to be cautious at this stage because we don t know what this man s motivations were and this is an ongoing police operation. a great deal of panic, we re hearing, around notre dame cathedr cathedral. this is one of those parts of paris that tends to have large crowds around it, lots of tourists milling about, visiting paris iconic cathedral. so, you can imagine the scene, since we re also hearing that as a result of this hammer attack, police fired back, shooting, although apparently not killing, the assailant. yeah, you can imagine the chaos out of necessity that created in that very crowded area. 14 million visitors to the notre dame cathedral every year. you can imagine how many people would have been there today. melissa, if you could stick with me as well, i want t
