Two people are believed to be dead and around 70 were held hostage at a retirement home for Catholic Monks in Montpellier in the South of France.

According to local news sources, armed police scrambled to the Maison de Retraite des Missions Africaines on Thursday night.

“An individual, who was masked and armed with a knife and a sawn-off shotgun came into the retirement home where 70 monks live,” a source told Agence France Presse.

UPDATE — 18:43 EST Local reports suggest that at least 59 of the monks have now been freed with police storming the building. The attacker is believed to still be at large.

That sounds like a soft target to me.

If they were Shaolin monks, maybe the baddies would have thought twice.

This SHOULD infuriate the world against jihadiots.

France 24 doesn’t have much information, but says the motive is unclear.

We all know what that really means.

In addition, there’s a story about the Venezuelan government stealing medicine from a charity and there looks to be a showdown with the opposition in about a week, eight Egyptian soldiers killed by IED in the Sinai, and scores of Shiite pilgrims killed in ISIS explosions?

Surely has nothing to do with the religion of pieces. 😡👹

[I want the USA back]

The world didn’t get it when a subhuman murdered a priest in France. The pope didn’t condemn the violent ideology that leads to this.
You kick the jihadis out!
