The attack happened at around 8pm (local time) during which a gunman killed at least three people and injured 13 others before fleeing the scene. 

Right after getting information of the incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam asked the Vietnamese Embassy in France to keep close contact with local authorities who promised to update the Vietnamese side if there is any report of Vietnamese victims.

France’s Ministry of Interior has issued security alert 3 - the highest level of "Attack Emergency".

Although there has been no order to close schools, markets and entertainment centres, local authorities have asked locals to strictly follow their orders and directions.
