Current Hostage Crisis in France

Quote:
A gunman is believed to have killed at least two people during a hostage-taking at a supermarket in Trèbes, southern France.

An operation involving elite police is continuing at the Super U shop, where others were wounded.

Reports say the gunman, who remains in the supermarket, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Earlier, a policeman was shot and wounded while jogging with colleagues in Carcassonne, a 15-minute drive away.

He was shot in the shoulder by the same suspect involved in the supermarket hostage-taking but is not critically injured, Yves Lefebvre, secretary-general of the SGP Police-FO union told the Associated Press.

Trèbes Mayor Eric Menassi told BFM TV that the gunman was now alone in the shop with one police officer, after other hostages were freed.

The suspect is said to be heavily armed and asking for the release of Salah Abdeslam, the most important surviving suspect in the 13 November 2015 Paris attacks, which killed 130 people.

Reports say the suspect is known to French intelligence services and that his mother is at the scene.

It amazes me that someone has obtained a firearm... and grenades (allegedly) in such a progressive country.

Because of the EU open borders stuff can float around very freely.

Maybe the European Firearms Directive should be amended to increase the legal ownership age from 18 to something higher...
...lord knows Europeans cant trust someone under the age of 21 to own a Category B, C, or D firearm.

I no longer have any interest in the well being of anyone in Europe. Since they seem to have little more than polite disdain for traditional American values, I have nothing left but a reciprocal level of disdain for them as well.


So...
in the same judgmental way that euro-trash responds to OUR tragedies; damn savages - they should change their laws to stop this kind of thing
Please, stand by, I am searching for a few spare fucks to give about Euro-crime since they are so much more refined than 'US'............


......nope, fresh out of fucks to give about them
