Via Daily Mail:
At least one person has been killed after a knifeman went on a rampage in central Paris tonight before being shot dead by police.
A police source said some seven people had been injured during the attack in the city’s Opera district.
Two people, including the alleged attacker, died as the French government denounced the attack as ‘odious’.
Journalist Charles Pellegrin said: ‘I came out of a comedy show near Opera in central Paris and was immediately told to go back in because there was a madman with a knife.
‘Once back inside we heard sirens and two gun shots.
‘I then spoke to eyewitnesses who told me a man stabbed multiple people at random.’
Update:
PARIS (Reuters) – An assailant shouting “Allah Akbar” killed a passer-by in a knife attack that also wounded four others in the heart of Paris late on Saturday before he was shot dead by police, French authorities said.
French prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters the police’s anti-terrorism unit would launch an investigation, given the aggressor’s “mode of operation.”
French President Emmanuel Macron praised officers for “neutralizing the terrorist.” France “will not yield an inch to the enemies of freedom,” Macron said on Twitter.
