A gunman is on the run after a Greek Orthodox priest was shot at a church in Lyon, France, according to reports.
The shooting is said to have taken place at the Église Greek Orthodox church in the Jean-Macé sector of the citys 7th district, with the cleric suffering life-threatening injuries. First responders are at the scene, which has been cordoned off.
BFM TV reports that the victim, who they describe as an archpriest, was shot by a lone male armed with a handgun who approached him which he was locking up his church, citing police sources although several other sources say the weapon was a sawn-off shotgun.
It is believed that the gunman remains at large at this time.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has instructed people to avoid the area and advised that he, Prime Minister Jean Castex, and President Emmanuel Macron will be coming together to convene a crisis unit.
Prime Minister Castex appears to be at the scene already, telling reporters: Our determination will not weaken.
The shooting follows a radical Islamic terrorist attack by a Tunisian migrant at a church in Nice which left three dead, although as yet the nature of the incident in Lyon is unclear.

“the nature of the incident in Lyon is unclear”
Frrrraaaaaaannnnnnnzzzzzzzzz allows Muzzies to have Wild West Gunz?
>>the nature of the incident in Lyon is unclear
aaaaand it’s Muslims.
I hope Macron stays strong...I can’t believe I’m even writing that he was being strong...pleasant surprise.
Wouldn’t possibly be someone of Arabic descent, would it?
He suspects everyone and no one :)
The Trump Effect
It’s clearly an attack on the body Christ.
The perp is likely but not necessarily a radical terrorist Muslim.
I can’t even begin to imagine a motive. But luckily there’s a concise description of the perp. /Sarc
A handgun or a saw off shotgun..?
No Islam, know peace.
Know Islam, no peace.
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
Occasionally the French do take appropriate action. France lost huge numbers of brave young men in both World Wars. Remember some French were ruthless Resistance fighters. The muslims just might find the is a fire that has been smoldering .
A FReeper here mailed me that in the longer picture, France was not a pushover country at all.
I don’t know enough about their history.
First Macron thought they needed an army to potentially offset the US.
Now he realizes the US is one of the few real friends they have.
And that Trump was right.
But then, heads rolling down the street on a semi regular basis will do that.
I think i’m fairly tough. Ex boxer and all.
If I saw a person decapitated in front of me, I’d faint and wake up in the ER.
You let them into your country-—NOW GET THEM OUT forever.
Europe needs to thank Obama and Clinton for the greatest human invasion in modern history.
"Refugees" are WELCOME!
As they rape the women suck off of welfare,populate with their spawn and murder anyone they feel like.
The USA and the allies lost a great many men to save Europe and it was pretty much in vain.
Did the gunman escape on a camel?
