In knife attack, employee kills 4 officers at Paris police HQ

India TV News  

A civilian employee raged through Paris police headquarters with a knife Thursday, stabbing four police colleagues to death before he was shot and killed, French authorities said. The employee who carried out the attack had worked for the city’s police force since 2003 without ever arousing concerns, French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said. “It’s the worst scenario possible, an internal attack with colleagues working together,” said Philippe Capon of the UNSA police union. Capon cautioned against jumping to conclusions on the motive and said, “Nothing can be ruled out, including a personal issue.” French media reported the employee carried out the attack with a ceramic knife.
