The act was described by French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve as "terrorist in nature."

From the BBC:

PM Bernard Cazeneuve said the attack was "terrorist in nature". The Louvre is home to numerous celebrated art works, including the Mona Lisa.

The incident began at 10:00 local time (09:00 GMT) in the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre at stairs leading to an entrance to the museum itself.

A patrol of four soldiers are reported to have tried to subdue the assailant using non-lethal force after he rushed at them.

When this failed and after one soldier was injured, five shots were fired. The suspected attacker was taken to hospital.

President Donald Trump tweeted that this attack means that the U.S. needs to "Get smart."
