Visitors were evacuated from the Louvre, Paris, on Friday morning, after an unidentified man tried to gain access to the Louvre Shopping Center by rushing at four soldiers, who attempted to subdue the man with non-lethal force, before one of the soldiers shot the suspect in the abdomen, leaving the suspect seriously wounded. Armed police officers, police cars and ambulances surrounded the famous museum after the incident. A Louvre spokesperson has said the museum is closed for the moment. The police reported that the suspect shouted "Allah Akbar" before he was shot by a soldier on guard at the museum. French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the incident was "clearly" an "attack of a terrorist nature."
