Paris Cop Fatally Shot as France Mourns Charlie Hebdo Massacre Victims

 

The fatal shooting of a female police officer in Paris was being investigated by counter-terror police Thursday but there was no firm link to the earlier execution of 12 people at a satirical magazine.

 

The shooting occurred in southwestern suburb of Montrouge at about 8 a.m. local time (2 a.m. ET). French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters at the scene that two officers had been shot and the suspect was "still at large."

 

France was marking a day of mourning as the massive manhunt continued for two heavily-armed brothers suspected of carrying out Wednesday's massacre at Charlie Hebdo.

 

Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that several people had been arrested since Wednesday's attack. Christophe Crepin of the UNSA police union said the arrests followed a raid on an apartment in Reims and that those held were connected to the suspects.

 

Montrouge mayor Pierre Brossollette told The Associated Press that the officer slain on Thursday and a colleague went to the site to deal with a traffic accident. A car stopped and a man got out and shot at them before fleeing.

 

"I heard a gunshot but I thought it was construction," nearby resident Linda Pluchon, 45, told NBC News. "This shows it can happen anywhere. It happened next to us. We always think it will happen somewhere else."

Explosion Reported Near French Mosque in Wake of Charlie Hebdo Attack

 

An explosion erupted near a mosque in an eastern French town early Thursday, officials told a local newspaper. No injuries were reported, but the mayor of Villefranche-sur-Saône said he feared the incident could be linked to Wednesday's deadly attack on satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The blast occurred near a mosque at around 6 a.m. and destroyed the glass front of a cafe attached to the building, Lyon-based newspaper Le Progres reported.

 

Reuters quoted a police source as confirming the explosion and that cafe was a kebab shop. "The window was [blown] out by an explosion in the night. The kebab shop was adjacent to a mosque," the source said, adding it appeared to be a criminal act. According to Le Progres, firefighters arrived at the scene at 6 a.m. local time (midnight ET). "I'm worried that this is tied to the dramatic events of Wednesday," Mayor Bernard Perrut told the newspaper. Villefranche-sur-Saône is located near Lyon, which is about 250 miles from the French capital.

People looking for revenge of course, Muslims wouldn't bomb a mosque..

Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen

I thought exactly this since it was only near a mosque and not the mosque itself. Either way it's awful that this is occurring.
