Is this thread-safe?

The EventAggregator in Prism is a very simple class with only one method. I was surprised when I noticed that there was no lock around the null check and creation of a new type to add to the private _events collection. If two threads called GetEvent simultaneously for the same type (before it exists in _events) it looks like this would result in two entries in the collection.

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the single instance of the event managed by this EventAggregator. Multiple calls to this method with the same <typeparamref name="TEventType"/> returns the same event instance.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="TEventType">The type of event to get. This must inherit from <see cref="EventBase"/>.</typeparam>
    /// <returns>A singleton instance of an event object of type <typeparamref name="TEventType"/>.</returns>
    public TEventType GetEvent<TEventType>() where TEventType : EventBase
    {
        TEventType eventInstance = _events.FirstOrDefault(evt => evt.GetType() == typeof(TEventType)) as TEventType;
        if (eventInstance == null)
        {
            eventInstance = Activator.CreateInstance<TEventType>();
            _events.Add(eventInstance);
        }
        return eventInstance;
    }
