Police in the French coastal city of Nice are responding to a knife attack in the vicinity of a church, which the local mayor has described as a “terrorist attack.”

Two people have been killed and a third is in a life-threatening condition after a knife attack in the French city of Nice, according to local mayor Christian Estrosi.
At this moment, we have, without any doubt, two dead inside the church, in a horrible way, Estrosi said.
Video from the scene posted to social media showed emergency services responding to the incident.
Medics are trying everything to save the life of a third victim who was able to flee,” Estrosi said.
He said the attacker was shot by police, but is alive.
