The man, a technology administrator in the police intelligence unit, launched the attack in his office then moved to other parts of the building.
A civilian employee raged through Paris police headquarters with a knife Thursday, stabbing four police colleagues to death before he was shot and killed, French authorities said.
An officer stopped the attack when he shot the assailant in the compound’s courtyard, said a police official. The official was not authorized to talk publicly about the case and requested anonymity.The employee who carried out the attack had worked for the city’s police force since 2003 without ever arousing concerns, French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said.
“I told myself, ‘This isn’t right,’” Siamandi said. “Moments later, I saw three policewomen crying. I couldn’t help them in any way, and their colleagues were crying too, so I figured it must be serious.”“It’s the worst scenario possible, an internal attack with colleagues working together,” said Philippe Capon of the UNSA police union.
