A suspected terrorist reportedly wearing a “fake explosive vest” was shot dead by French police Friday after stabbing multiple people, one of whom died from the wounds. Witnesses said they heard the attacker cry “Allahu Akbar” during the rampage, reports say. Video has since emerged of police confronting the attacker.
The attack, which began at around 2 p.m. Friday at the Hautes-Bruyères park in Villejuif, about 5 miles south of Paris, involved at least four victims, one of whom died and two of whom were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment after suffering serious injuries. Police say they chased the man toward a nearby shopping center, where they shot him several times, believing he was wearing an explosive vest and ultimately “neutralizing” the threat.
