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.

What’ll they go after next? Alter boys? Nuns?
Mon Dieu.
I spent my junior year at that university.
I do expect this is jihad. Against elderly missionaries to Africa. Affreux.
They are trying to burn down Israel also.
Nuns have already been targeted:

Possible. I can tell from my blurry thanksgiving headline check who would attack a catholic institution full of guys with no money and manage to shoot the girl -probably a cook - in the woods
Just duh!
These people! Yes it’s ...
Oh well. The French
prayers for all. God be with them.
I know. I’m here. Mt. Carmel is in flames, but we are getting an unusual wind storm out of the Southeast, i.e., the Red Sea, which is keeping the flames to the West of us contained, I hope.
Looks like they’re getting back to work, now that our election is over.
BLAME THE GOVERNMENT!! Get the cut throat godless bastards out of Europe AGAIN!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
Trump will be the one to show up. The others will have to PAY UP.

From this, it seems possible that it was a personal attack on the person who was killed. However, there will probably be a lot more information tomorrow.
Didn’t Brussels say not to report Islamic involvement in future incidents? If so, we’ll not find out from media.
"Ceterum censeo Islam esse delendam."

“Retired monks?!?!
What brave warriors.”
If it’s Shaolin Monks those jihadis will get their asses handed to them but good.
They killed 3000 innocents by using planes filled with innocents as missiles, and the world barely noticed that.
hard to find a much more quiet or tranquil setting..
may the perps boil in bacon grease forever.
Every outrage like this is another 100, 000 votes for LePen.
