A woman was decapitated and two other people were killed by a knife-wielding terrorist who shouted Allahu akbar! at a church in the French city of Nice one of three attacks targeting the country on Thursday.
Mayor Christian Estrosi said on Twitter the vile attack occurred at the Notre Dame Basilica in the Mediterranean city and that police had detained the assailant.
Two people were killed inside the church, an elderly woman who was beheaded, and a man whose throat was cut, according to the BBC.
A wounded woman managed to flee to a nearby café , but died of her injuries later, a police source told Agence France-Presse.
No Mass was underway at the time of the attack, but the church opens at about 8 a.m. and people come in to pray at all hours, the Rev. Philippe Asso, who serves at the church, told the outlet.
A video posted online captured the moment police ran inside the church less than a half-mile from the site where another attacker plowed a truck into a Bastille Day crowd, killing 86 people, on July 14, 2016.
Thursdays attack prompted lawmakers in parliament to hold a minute of silence, before Prime Minister Jean Castex and other ministers left for an emergency meeting with President Emmanuel Macron, who is expected to head to the city.
Castex told lawmakers that the country would raise its alert level to emergency in response to the attack hours before the country was to go into a one-month coronavirus lockdown.
A wave of jihadist attacks, often by so-called lone wolf assailants, has killed more than 250 people in France since 2015.
