French-Police
Police sources told AFP that a drunk man was killed by French police on Sunday outside of Paris after he yelled “Allahu akbar,” an Arabic phrase frequently used by Islamist attackers, and threatened officers.
According to preliminary information, the man brandished a dummy gun, a source close to the case told AFP. He was “very drunk,” the source said.
A police officer then drew his weapon and shot the man, who died despite the intervention of the emergency services, the source said.
According to another police source, the officer fired his weapon three times, and the man was hit once. The entire incident was captured by the police body camera.
The man, aged 30, committed “apology for terrorism” in 2019, according to police sources.
The case has been referred to the police’s IGPN internal affairs department, a standard procedure.
The police officer who shot the man tested negative for drugs and alcohol.
In 2022, 38 people died in France as a result of police action, including 22 after being shot, according to the latest IGPN report.
