Man with knife wounds six people at Paris train station

A man attacked and wounded six people at the Gare du Nord train station in Paris on Wednesday morning, leaving one with serious injuries, before being shot by off-duty police officers, authorities said.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters the man attacked travelers with what looked like a home-made weapon at 6:42 a.m. local time (5:42 GMT) at the entrance and inside the station. Police had earlier said the man had used a knife or blade.

Within a minute, off-duty police officers returning home after a night shift shot the attacker three times, Darmanin said.

Gare du Nord, one of the busiest stations in Europe, is the arrival point of the Eurostar train from London and a major gateway to the north of Europe.

...no investigation for terrorism had been opened.

Cue in the left “good thing it wasn’t a gun or it could have been far worse”.
Cue in me “good thing it wasn’t a bomb or it could have been even worse”

No need when you already know the answer.

And you would be most correct.

That is why Moslems prefer bombs. Much more mass murder possible fast.

They need to take the semi-automatic assault knives out of the
hands of the public.

Nobody needs to own them.

As I see it, you’ve got two kinds of Muslim terrorists. The first kind will plan things out, and will use bombs. The second kind will just instantly attack when the mood strikes them. Folks in that second group prefer knives and vehicles.

Anyway, I wonder if France will follow the UK, and start a naive and silly knife collection program (yes, it’s a real thing).

And of course no connection to Islam even as he was yelling “Allahu Akbar” and “DEATH TO INFIDELS.”

And of course, “A lone wolf” who was one the radar with a “history of mental illness.”

“All I’m asking for is common sense KNIFE control legislation”.
“This was an assault knife. A weapon of war, and we don’t need weapons of war on our streets.”

Then they would have blamed gun owners and conservatives...because we should have been wearing a mask.

Biggest US school massacre was in Bath, MI in 1927.
Bomb on boilers, no guns…

Yes, Moslems like edged weapons.

That’s because they love brutality. Edged weapon wounds are wicked and highly dangerous. You know Moslems love decapitation. So individuals probably do that for the personal satisfaction.

But If a group wants mass murder quickly, they pick bombing.
