Update: It seems the Internet might have gotten a little carried away on this story. (Weird, that never happens on anything related to Bieber!)

This is the third act of suspected terrorism in France in the past month
Three people were killed Thursday in a knife attack at a church in the French Riviera city of Nice, in an assault prosecutors are treating as an act of terrorism.
A man wielding a knife entered the Notre Dame Basilica in the center of Nice in the morning and killed two people, officials said.
