‘Allah Akhbar’: Man With ‘Handgun’ Shot Dead Just Hours After Nice Terror

An “Allah Akbar” shouting man has been shot dead by police in a second, separate attack in France in one day, according to reports from the city of Avignon.

Police responded after a man was seen with a handgun shouting threats in Avignon in Provence on Thursday morning a little after 1100 Paris time (0600EST). French newspaper Liberation reports the would-be assailant shouted “Allah Akbar” and was shot dead in an exchange of fire by officers.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting and have not yet declared it to be a potential terrorist attack.

The attack came a little over two hours after a confirmed terrorist attack in the southern French city of Nice, which saw a man armed with a knife kill three and injure an unspecified number of others inside the city’s main church. The man was injured in the process fo detainment and taken, under arrest, to a nearby hospital for treatment.

It was subsequently revealed that the perpetrator of that attack had repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” during and after the attack. The mayor of Nice called it an “Islamo-fascist” attack.

There’s no such thing as a “nice” terror. They’re all bad.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting and have not yet declared it to be a potential terrorist attack.

Apparently individual attacks without pre-announcement lack a certain 'je ne sais quoi' for an immediate determination of potential apprehension of a terror component, especially when no license or permit was applied for in advance. Le Gendarme has long requested that proper application for such permits be done at least 10 days in advance as it becomes very confusing when multiple acts happen on such close time frames.

Police are unable to find a cause for the attack or a reason the gentleman could not find the Aloha Snackbar.

He was having an episode! There was no reason to MURDER him. They could at least have shot at his legs or had a darn Muslim social worker come in and talk him down!

The indomitable spirit of the French people is reflected in their persistence to avow, “Never Again!” each and every time a terrorist attack takes place on their soil.
