Paris-Orly airport has been evacuated and should remain closed until the evening. Flights are being redirected to Charles de Gaulle airport. The attacker was referenced by the authorities for being radical Islam.
The attacker was referred to by the police as an Islamic radical. A man was shot dead this morning at the Paris-Orly airport after stealing a gun from a military man on patrol. This man's day began hours earlier in a zone north of Paris where he attacked three policemen, wounding one, when they intercepted him to identify him.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Bruno le Roux confirmed at a press conference "What happened was that the individual was discovered in an identity check, his identity is known, he is known to the police and secret services ".
The authorities establish a link between two attacks that took place this morning in Paris, an attack on a patrol of three police officers in the Stains area that cause an injured officer and later the attack at Orly airport with the individual stealing the weapon To a military man from the "Sentinel " program.
At the airport, the man, not yet identified, but already referenced as Islamic radical, managed to steal the weapon from a military man and then went to McDonald's, where he was shot dead by police. There is no record of injuries from this incident.
The story is now becoming clearer. The man was ordered to stop by the patrol in this area north of Paris and when he was asked for the documents he fired at the officers, wounding one of them. The authorities immediately started a hunt for the man, who fled in a car, then changed cars, and it was this second car that was later found at Orly airport. This is the link the French authorities are making.
