Scant information out there, but Reuters just tweeted the news and a photo. Twitchy will monitor and update.
Update: According to this report, the shooter is in custody and no one has been injured.

Hmm:
Question for the weekend: will the shots fired at Cannes get more or less coverage than the shots fired at the NOLA Mother's Day parade?

@CJR Since the 2 shots at Cannes were blanks and 19 people were NOT injured, no.

Update:
Reuters is quoting a police source as saying that the shooter “appears to be a crazy guy” who was carrying a dummy grenade and a knife.
