The Canadian Press is in particularly fine form as they kick off the morning;
On Jan. 7, 2015, two French-born brothers killed 11 people inside the building where the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo operated, as well as a Muslim policeman outside. Over the next two days, an accomplice shot a policewoman to death and then stormed a kosher supermarket, killing four hostages. All three gunmen died.
(Emphasis mine, of course, lest we overlook the relative importance that religion played in the role of perpetrator and victims.)
Now back to Paris, where #JeSuisFrenchBorn commemorated the anniversary outside a police office;
French officials say the man shouted “Allahu Akbar!” (God is Great) outside a police station in Goutte d’Or, near Montmartre, where police shot and killed him.
Reports say he was wielding a knife and may have had a suicide belt. A police robot used for bomb disposal is checking the body in the street.
I’ll go out on a limb and assume he’s “French-born” as well.
