A senior French police officer investigating the Charlie Hebdo magazine massacre killed himself just hours after the horrific terror attack. Commissioner Helric Fredou, 45, shot himself in his police office in Limoges last Wednesday night, France 3 reported.
His body was found by a colleague at 1am on Thursday, hours after the terror attack at the satirical magazine's office which left 12 people dead. It has been reported that shortly before committing suicide Commissioner Fredou had met with the family of one of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack massacre.

The CNN audience tunes in for news of the missing Malaysian airliners.
The politicians, not the police, are to blame for this tragedy. Give the French citizens credit for their massive demonstration and get the dang politicians to change the laws, get the muslim maggots off the streets, stop them from immigrating, cut off their welfare, and arm real French citizens.
Chaplains have shown better than psychologists.
They’re both good, but chaplains have a very different type of duty compared to police psychologists.
“Police psychologists conduct pre-employment screenings for police personnel, fitness for duty evaluations for police officers, and how to work in crisis situations like hostage negotiation teams/hostage barricade team.
“The police psychologist teaches police officers crime (criminal psychology) prevention techniques, provides clinical counseling to police officers and their families. Police psychologists help police officers deal with trauma and stress through clinical counseling. Counseling programs include resilience, life skills building and peer counseling.”
Importantly, police psychologists frequently need to testify in court, which can often present a problem for chaplains. Psychologists can present clinical evidence.
Now this being said, police chaplains are also very helpful in ways complementary to police psychologists. For example, they are superb for bereavement counseling, any religious “interface” within the department or the community (which can happen a lot), they can conduct marriages and funerals, as well as marriage counseling. They are also very in touch with department morale, acting outside of the chain of command to troubleshoot problems and perform an ombudsman role.
Well said. Thanks
I know Limoges is not that far from Paris, but still...
