Various news outlets are reporting that a man armed with two handguns has been arrested at Disneyland Paris along with a woman accompanying him.

According to Reuters, the gunman, 28, was apprehended at a security checkpoint at the park’s New York Hotel. A bag containing two guns, including an automatic handgun, and a copy of the Koran set off a security alarm while going through a metal detector.

A spokesperson for Euro Disney had no immediate information of the incident at the time.

France currently remains in a state of emergency after terrorist attacks hit Paris last November. Disneyland Paris theme parks immediately were closed following the attacks. Major theme parks in Orlando and California, including Disney and Universal, soon installed metal detectors and increased security at the entrance to their

Definitely glad we have metal detectors at DL and WDW here!

Indeed, very well done!

While many people in the US may legally wander around with a bag containing two handguns and a copy of the Bible/Koran/Talmud/Book of Mormon/Yogic Sutras/Homeric Hymns/whatever, it's extremely unusual behaviour in France. The gun laws there are exceedingly strict. It's not just a matter of forbidding them entry to the parks, as it would be in North America.

I am sure the full weight of the law will be coming down on these two individuals.

Yikes!

As an aside, it isn't called Euro Disney anymore. Im hoping this was a blog post and not an actual news report.

Still searching for the woman.

They are still looking for her, according to news reports.

I thought it odd that the security check was at the hotel, not the park. Is this common in France? I've never seen an x-ray machine at a hotel check-in before.

According to news reports, there was initially a false report that a woman was apprehended, but new reports claim that they are searching for her now.

Is it odd that they do security checks at a resort? Is that coming down the pike for US park resort too?

I was thinking the same thing about the resorts having security. Also, I can't understand how or why anyone would want to target (terrorize) a theme park where mostly children would be harmed. I know crazies like to get a lot of news when they do these types of things. But in what warped world would someone live in to think killing children is ok. I don't understand it at all.

I think that's part of the turn down service...

There is security at the expensive hotels and at park entrance and disney village.

Well its well known the middle east radical terrorists have no issue with wrapping a bomb around their own kids, any kids and set them off to blow up who ever they can.

The -parent permit this as they are paid for it.
