The man has been killed by the French police. Apparently, it is a family dispute, and not a terrorist attack.

 

At least two people have died and another has been wounded after being attacked by a man with a white weapon shouting "Allah is the greatest", in the city of Trappes, in the Paris region. According to BFMTV, the two people killed by stabbing are the mother and sister of the aggressor.

The attacker has been killed by police in the city of Trappes, according to French media reports. According to the first information, he was on the list of people potentially dangerous to national security for advocating terrorism.

The events took place in the street Camille Claudel de Trappes, a town located in the metropolitan region of Paris, near Versailles. The suspect initially had entrenched himself, but was shot down by security forces, according to police sources quoted by France 3.

The authorities have not determined for now that it is a terrorist incident and, in fact, point as the main hypothesis of what happened a family dispute.

Once the operation was over, Gérard Collomb, Minister of the Interior of France, reminded the victims on Twitter and congratulated the security forces for their "response capacity" and "exemplary mobilization".

The Islamic State, in a statement, broadcast through Telegram, whose authenticity could not be verified, has claimed the event. According to the Amaq agency, the author has been a "combatant" of the terrorist group.
