At least six police officers have been injured in a house explosion in France, according to media reports
At least six police officers have been injured, including three seriously, in a house explosion in France, according to media reports.
The gendarmes, French paramilitary police, had gone to the property to arrest a man who was then killed in the blast in the central region of Allier, it is believed. For several days, the suspect, named as Christophe B, 38, had reportedly made death threats, including against a prison and probation service official.
Three officers managed to arrest the man before they noticed a very strong smell of petrol. The explosion then occurred, setting the property in Les Palissards on fire.Three other officers who went into the house to rescue their colleagues suffered less severe injuries, including burns to their hands.
