FRENCH police have shot a man in central Marseille after he began stabbing bystanders, according to local media reports.

By Harvey Gavin, The Express, 

At least four people were injured in the horrific attack as the suspect began knifing people in the Canebière area of the city, French news site actu17 reports. Police rushed to the scene at around 3.45pm GMT (4.45pm local time) and shot the man dead after he drew a gun and pointed it at officers, according to a police source. One of the victims is said to be in a serious condition after being knifed in the neck.

Two victims were attacked on a tram while two more were stabbed in the street.

The motive for the attack was not immediately clear but French media reports suggest the stabbing was not terror-related.

According to La Provence the suspect is a 36-year-old homeless man who is known to local police but not to counter-terror officers.

Police fired on the suspect after he pulled a gun while attempted to flee.

knifeman shot dead by police

Why didn’t they get him the help he needed?

Don’t you think we should have UNHRA investigate this state-sponsored extra-judicial killing?

Hmm. A “man” stabbed five people. The “man” was known to the police. Motive unknown. This sounds like a board game

Sahih Muslim (20:4678) – It has been reported on the authority of Jabir that a man said: “Messenger of Allah, where shall I be if I am killed?” He replied: “In Paradise.” The man threw away the dates he had in his hand and fought until he was killed (i. e. he did not wait until he could finish the dates).

This was an easy one for the so called Prophet Mohammad. He normally had to think quickly when he got caught in a lie. Thanks to this flash of inspiration 1300 years ago, we have a stabbing frenzy spreading across Europe today.
