It's eerily quiet now very tense. The second line of officers nearer the scene are - understandably - v jumpy. #ParisAttacks

From my position I can see a line of cops 100 yards away. Very twitchy - pounced on 3 men in past 5 mins but think locals in wrong place.

The apartment is perhaps bit more than half a mile from the national stadium where the #ParisAttacks were last Friday.
