Four people killed after knife attack in HQ of Paris police


October 3 2019 1:06 PM


Four people have been killed in an attack on the police headquarters in Paris on Thursday, a police source told Reuters.

A man who killed a police officer with a knife in the headquarters of the Paris police today has been killed, French media and sources close to the police said.

"As we speak, one colleague is dead following a knife attack. Another colleague is in a state of shock (...) and the person behind the attack has been shot by another colleague," Loic Travers, local head of the Alliance police union, said on BFM TV.

A spokesman for Paris police said he had no comment on the attack, which took place in the heart of the French capital, near to Notre-Dame cathedral.

French Interior Christophe Castaner is on his way to the scene of the crime, according to BFM TV. The Parisian transport body said the metro station closest to the police headquarters was closed down for "security reasons".

The area around the Paris police headquarters has been sealed off, according to BFM TV.

Apparently the assailant was an Administrative Officer in the prefecture. He killed three of his colleagues, one female, two male, and was shot dead by police.

I'm getting this in French from BFM tv live, but the signal keeps dropping, so hope I got it right.

A terrible thing to happen.

Don't put your paranoia on me chief. Pointing out the shams who trawl for anti Muslim sentiment won't keep this on the first page. Pretty much what I put in my comment. And 'Classy as always'? Compared to what?

It's France. Far too early to dismiss a religion of peace motive.

Islamic incident.

He converted 18 months ago.

he converted to Islam

Kind of wonder about people who decide to convert to Islam of all religions.
Hard to wrap the head around and if coercion of some sort or else love isn't involved, it must be a good indicator of mental illness/psychological problems/something bad going on in a person's life.

You are, as Douglas Murray describes, incredibly good at dealing with the secondary problem(The anger towards Islam). Why not deal with the primary problem?

Lol. Since it became apparent he's muslim, the victims haven't been mentioned.

It was a small story until the Muslim angle. I wonder if the media can go back and 'reboot' the story? There'll be much more interest second time around with a "Muslim terrorist" angle. It would even break the US media market this time around.

Thelonious Monk

I didnt realise he was muslim. Religion of peace etc.

Harvey Weinstein

Apparently he was reprimanded by his female superior over his refusal to engage with his female colleagues and thats what set him off.

Converts (to any religion) are often extremely zealous

The attacks are diminishing in number nowadays in line with the lure of isis thankfully.

Was surprised to see this not even mentioned on RTE last night. They must have found out his religious preferences before airing.

If they'd known his religion they would have been all over it. When it was just a white guy that killed police, it was no news. Now it's an Islamic Terrorist as part of a wave of terrorism against the very heart of the French system.

Horrible attack.

I don't think it is so odd that people convert to Islam. It's just one possibility in a long line of possible coercive religions with odd ideas about human relations.
I knew quite a few over the decades who converted to Hare Krishna. Women who were prepared, eyes fully open, to choose to stay down the back of the temple to avoid exciting the lads, and to spend whole afternoons doing sewing tasks- and I say that as a fan of embroidery, but fcuk me, no one is gonna pressure me to do it. Men who chose willingly to wrap their genitals in tight Indian style cloths and embark on extended periods of chastity, often while the big knobs at the head of the groups cuckolded them by shagging their sari-clad girlfriends.
Not just Hare Krishnas - there are plenty of cults with thriving memberships where people will engage in all sorts of weird things from washing their lower intestines with salty water, long periods of enforced silence where they will ignore their loved ones and imagine they are displaying detachment from samsara, even just simple chanting for hours till the alteration of oxygen / carbon dioxide levels in the blood gets mistaken for samadhi.
Very popular movements, never short of new adherents, nor a swift buck.

I was pointing out that people like yourself would have no interest, (when there was no Islamic connection). Now that there seems to be a Muslim connection, here you are with you faux intellectual Americanised musings.
You are an alt-right sh*t disturber.
You haunt these boards looking to stir up a them and us narrative. Nasty.

Your first post on the thread was to mention there was "No Muslim element". Why did you feel the need to make that point?

Sure my only interest on these boards is Islam. I might have made three posts about it. You're opinion of my interests is bordering on delusional and you have nothing to back it up.

By the way, are you an antisemitic? I mean this is a Jewish movement. Or is it only antisemitism if you criticise Israel?

You're the only one outraged here, even the article says:

You are the only person I see prove to be a hypocrite time and time and time and time and time again....

You trawl these boards projecting your 'faux outrage' onto other people; constantly dealing with the secondary problems forever stifling real discussion, looking to incite hatred and anger. A parody of the thing you pretend to be outraged against.

Because threads like these tend to thrive on anti Muslim sentiment. Maybe you've never noticed.

Never said Islam was your only interest. You cite right wing youtube conspiracy theorists often enough. Anti Islam, Anti anti facism, anti liberal, anti liberal conspiracies, (often imagined).

The last two comments are you trying to turn comments I made about you back at me. You post threads and comments complaining and making fun of often non-existent liberal/PC outrage.
My only outrage is americanised biased right wing posters such as yourself trying to make every topic an us and them narrative using twisted faux intellectualism.

You were the one who brought america into this thread and you keep doing it. Do you even realize how hypocritical you are?

It's hilarious how unaware you are.

I quoted Douglas Murray(english) talking specifically about Europe. You are lost in some world far far away from this one.

You have yet to address the point I made in that post; adding to the fact that you are only interesting in obfuscating discussion and denigrating the character of people you disagree with. You disgust me.

Lol? Odd response.

When you posted that, the victims hadn't been mentioned because it was derailed by someonevwho fell over themselves to take a dig at the people who have a problem with islam because he thought the attacker wasn't a Muslim.

But yeah, keep going with your islamaphobia rhetoric. That's the main problem.

Converts to other religions aren't throwing acid in people's faces, running people down with vehicles, stabbings, rapes and other violent crimes with monotonous regularity like with Muslims.

The extreme Christian will just light candles at Church for you and pray for you at Mass.

Trying to compare Islam [especially the violence from their members] to other religions is ridiculous.

And then when it turned out to be a Muslim, you went on the defensive.

A Muslim ISIS supporter slaughtered 4 of his colleagues because his female superior reprimanded him on his refusal to interact with his female colleagues. The French Police have been the target of ISIS for a number of years now. Why would you seek to derail this thread by bringing up an entirely unrelated incident, which happened in another country and has no bearing whatsoever on this case?
