Early reports:

1. Antiterrorism operation underway, stay away from central Paris.
2. Church attack in Paris.

Very sketchy at the moment. The first report seems confirmed; the second less so.

ETA: Now seeing reports of possible false alarm, but the response was real. Hopefully much ado about nothing, but that country is sure on edge.

From Sky News:

French police have swooped on a busy area of Paris amid reports of gunshots and an alert from the government.

There had been fears of an attack on a church.

A vast police operation was launched this afternoon in Les Halles - but officers say the operation has now ended.

Great news - have friends who landed in the city on business last evening.

Paris, and some parts of Germany need some good news.
