Police have shot two men who took a priest and several others hostage at knifepoint at a church in north-western France.
The men cut the priest's throat before being "neutralised," police said.
Le Figaro newspaper reported that the priest died after his throat was cut.
The men’s motives are still unknown. Elite police units rushed to the church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du Rouvray after the men seized a number of people including a priest and two nuns.
It remains unclear whether the hostage takers were killed in the police action.
A police source told AFP that one of the hostages has been killed.
Up to six people were being held by the assailants in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, according to police sources.
A priest is understood to be among the hostages, as well as two nuns and a worshipper.
Their motives are unknown and police have arrived at the scene, according to news website Normandie Actu.
The interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, is travelling to the church.
The hostages included the priest, two nuns and two worshippers.
Police have sealed off the church, while ambulances are on the scene.
More to follow.

Atheist or Muslim?
I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but...I wonder, what could be this demonic?
“Police have shot two men who took a priest and several others hostage at knifepoint at a church in north-western France.”
“The men cut the priest’s throat before being “neutralised,” police said.”
“The men’s motives are unknown.”
Well, duh!
The men are Muslims on jihad, and this is an example of Islamic terrorism.
You answered your own question.
The demon’s name is Mohammed.
The Amish have moved to France?
They would say this, even if they knew exactly what their motives were.
No names released. Interesting..... If they are going to start attacking religious services, that’s upping the game.
Curchplace Violins. Religous Cleansing.
Is there a DIFFERENCE?
