The TV broadcaster stated that the hotel and the area around has been evacuated and cordoned off by police forces. According to the outlet, the gunman didn't take hostages, only locking himself inside a room.
As the media outlet informed, the man has since turned himself into the police — at 1:00 p.m. GMT.
He had two handguns, according to La Voix du Nord, and had himself called the police.
"He is a lonely man with suicidal tendencies. There is no danger to other people," a police source stated as quoted by France 3, adding that the accident wasn't of a terrorist nature.
The RAID and BRI police forces are currently deployed at the scene.
