France Trèbes: 'One dead' in hostage-taking at supermarket

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43512791

Quote:
A gunman has taken at least one person hostage in a supermarket in Trèbes, in the south of France.

Elite police have rushed to the Super U shop, and there are reports that at least one person has been killed.

A prosecutor says the gunman claims to be in the Islamic State group.

Earlier, a policeman was shot while jogging with colleagues in Carcassonne, a 15-minute drive away, but was not critically injured. It is unclear if the incidents are connected.

Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said the situation was "serious".

The regional police chief said authorities believed one person had been killed at the supermarket but they could not yet confirm it. Other sources put the death toll at two.

Hundreds of police officers have been deployed to the area, and the vicinity has been cordoned off.

Re: France Trèbes: 'One dead' in hostage-taking at supermarket

I have been listening to reports on French radio. The pundits are having a feeding frenzy as usual with little or no actual detail on what is happening. Callers are repeating the chant of "islam is the religion of peace", and those speaking against that are being cut off mid rant...

Must be a Russian responsible for the attack. After all it is meant to be Russia that's invading and attacking us?

Attacking, not invading - fake news!

Shouldn't let it be forgotten what a hero this police officer was: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43525267

Tributes are pouring in for a French police officer who died saving the lives of hostages in a supermarket siege by an Islamist gunman on Friday.

Lt-Col Arnaud Beltrame, 44, was shot and stabbed after he traded places with one of the captives following a shooting spree in southern France.

Well they don't originate from France or the UK or even Europe.

French-Moroccan Lakdim, 26, had already killed three other people while screaming his support for IS before he attacked Lieut Col Beltrame.

You said ‘it is meant to be Russia that's invading and attacking us’ (the U.K.).
