Reports: Soldier Shoots Terrorist Near Louvre in Paris

(Paris)  --  Some scary moments today at one of the world's most famous museums.  A French soldier on duty at the Louvre shot and wounded an armed suspect who reportedly tried to assault him and enter the iconic building.  France's prime minister says the incident was clearly "terrorist in nature."  Heavily-armed police responded to the scene and visitors and employees were evacuated from the Louvre as well as a nearby shopping center.  The investigation is in the very early stages but there are reports coming out that the would-be attacker had shouted "God is great" in Arabic before being shot multiple times by that soldier.
