XXL Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39662315 One policeman has been shot dead and a second wounded in central Paris, French police say, with reports that a gunman was later killed. The Champs Elysees, where the shooting occurred, was sealed off. Reports suggest a single gunman fired on a police patrol. It happened as candidates made their last pitches in a TV appearance before Sunday's presidential election. An anti-terrorist investigation has been launched. "On the face of it, the officers were deliberately targeted," interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told France's BFMTV news channel.

Jaz Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Where did the gunman get the gun? I hope police find this out so that it doesn't happen again in France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This modus operandi is typical of old fashioned terrorists attacks. This is how ETA, the Basque terrorist group, killed policemen in Spain and France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B. Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 whats strange is that it happens a mere day ahead of the elections and in the light that Macron is ahead of the Puta in the polls. Coincidence? Absolutely not. ISIS wants Le Pen to win in France and this is a way to help her to. Le Pen's policies will make it possible to radicalize a significant number of disadvantaged young immigrants in the country who will have nothing to lose. Each anti-immigration party that gains power allows ISIS to increase its recruitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
