A man armed with a knife was shot dead by security forces Thursday after attempting to enter a police station in northern Paris, police sources said.

The shooting took place outside a police station in the Goutte-d'Or area of the French capital’s 18th arrondissement, the sources told Reuters.

A witness told AFP he had heard "two or three shots" fired by police.

Paris police said the man cried "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) and may have been wearing a suicide belt.

Pictures posted on Twitter showed the alleged assailant wearing a camouflage coat, lying on the pavement after being shot. A police bomb disposal robot appeared to be inspecting the body.

The incident took place as France marked the one-year anniversary of last January’s terror attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

[EvilCapitalist]

The fact that the perp said Allahu Akbar, was a dead giveaway, wasn’t it?

What a coincidence!

After the robot is done making sure the savage isn’t going to explode, someone should stuff a pork chop, or some bacon into the savages mouth.

outside a police station in the Goutte-d'Or area of the French capital's 18th arrondissement...

Don't know French well, but with existence of no-go zones, suspect "Goutte-d'Or" loosely translates to "Get-Out", if you know what's good for you.

she’s showing way too much gold

pretension is showing

[demshateGod]

Terrorist tries to go into a place where people have guns = one dead terrorist. Terrorist goes into a place where people have no guns = 130 dead people.

[bert]

yep..... his death is confirmed

except, why are his legs crossed and his arms outspread?

[RKBA Democrat]

Good catch.

[csvset]

Maybe the robot moved them ? Read that they were using the robot to check for a bomb.

What Kind of Bomb ?

The exploding kind.

Another completely inexplicable incident.

Nice shooting!

[exDemMom]

“Goutte-d’Or” actually means “Drop of gold.”

May dead in the street be the end of all Muslims, inshallah.
