French Police Shoot Man Attempting to Enter Paris' Goutte d'Or Station
PARIS — Police fatally shot a knife-wielding man attempting to enter a Paris police station on Thursday, according to officials.The incident came as France marked the one-year anniversary of the deadly Charlie Hebdo terror attacks.
The man with a knife shouted "Allahu Akbar" — or "God is greatest" — and was killed by police before he could enter the 18th arrondissement's Goutte d'Or police station, the local mayor's office told NBC News.
The man was alone, added a spokeswoman for the area's mayor, saying that a security cordon was in place and two schools were put on lockdown as a precaution. Ministry of the Interior spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told NBC News that what appeared to be an explosive device on the suspect was "fake."

Thank goodness that explosive device was a fake!
Still a dangerous situation in Paris.

He should have just taken over a federal building in Oregon.
He'd be alive today
