French Police Shoot Man Yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ While Firing Shotgun Towards Them

 

A man wielding a shotgun in the centre of the French city of Saint-Quentin was shot and injured this week after firing toward police while yelling “Allahu akbar!” Investigators have not ruled out a possible terror motive.

 

The armed man, said to be 40 years old, was allegedly firing his shotgun in the centre of the city of Saint-Quentin at dawn on Thursday, as witnesses called police and informed them that the man was firing his shotgun without any identifiable target.

 

When police arrived on the scene, the man allegedly fired his weapon in their direction while yelling “Allahu akbar” but did not hit anyone, according to the local prosecutor’s office. The officers then shot back at the man and hit him in the shoulder, newspaper Le Parisien reports.

 

Despite being shot in the shoulder, police were still forced to deploy an electric pulse gun to finally subdue him.
