sources is here. you ve been keeping your eye and ear to the ground and what you re picking up as well. and describing this scene inside the cathedral, remarkable that we re seeing what s inside the cathedral. however, we re not seeing reports of other injuries, of any fatalities. it does not appear, so far, that there were other injuries to any civilians on the scene. this one police officer who was apparently injured by this hammer attack. i think it s very notable from a quote president trump, who recently described terrorists as losers, that there may have only been a single injury in this incident. it s worthwhile to point out, on social media, we re not seeing pictures of chaos anymore. it does seem to be a calm scene in paris. but they accomplished the task, because again, look at what we re doing, look at the coverage, look what we re talking about. they ve locked down a major landmark. locked down a major landmark. yeah. and terror causes harm. panic also causes h
