Four police officers have been stabbed to death at a headquarters building
near the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, France.
The perpetrator "was involved in an argument with someone and then erupted in anger, targeting other police colleagues before being neutralised," according to a source quoted by The Sun."The attacker is believed to have been an administrative officer working in a secure part of the building - making it very easy for him to walk around freely. He would have had security clearance."One victim is dead, along with the attacker. Others are in intensive care."
French media now reports that
the death toll has risen to four, however.
It's literally next door to Notre Dame
The attacker's motives, if known, are yet to be disclosed, as his identity.
A police union secretary, Loïc Travers, has told France's BFM TV that he was
a long-term employee, who had been "with us for over 20 years". At least one of his victims was a female officer.
The attack also comes one day after French police went on a nationwide strike.Video from the scene circulated on social media.

reports that the name of officer-gone-postal is Michael Harpon, a 16-year-vet of Paris police HQ, someone who had no professional reprimands during that time, and who "recently converted to Islam." His wife has been telling local media that he 'heard voices' the night before the attack...
The Paris police attacker "heard voices" during an agitated "fit of dementia" the night before murdering four of his police colleagues in a deadly knife rampage, according to his wife.
Computer expert Michael Harpon was shot in the head by a police officer after killing three men and one woman with a ceramic knife in a frenzied attack at police headquarters in Paris on Thursday. Two other people were hurt during the incident but their injuries are not believed to be live-threatening.
In the aftermath of the bloodbath, French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said Harpon, who was a recent convert to Islam, had "never shown any behavioural problems" during more than 15 years with the force.
Investigators questioning Harpon's wife Iham say he became "incoherent" during a deranged episode on Wednesday night before waking "abruptly" on the morning of the killing spree, BFM reported.
The 45-year-old, who was born in the French Caribbean territory of Martinique, had worked for the police since 2003 without ever raising any red flags with authorities. Officials say there is no indication that the attack was an act of terror but added that no theory has been ruled out at this stage of the investigation.
"It is important to emphasise you are not a terrorist because you are Muslim and converting to Islam is not an automatic sign of radicalisation. The facts need to be looked at carefully," government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye told Franceinfo radio on Friday. "We do not have any indication that the perpetrator was radicalised," she added.
The government can
say that, but that's not the message that people are being hit with by this incident.
Some form of mind control was likely in play here. Harpon did not just 'randomly go postal'. He was probably 'worked on'.
Given the close proximity to Notre Dame, this appears intended to compound the demoralization France felt at seeing Note Dame go up in flames earlier this year.
It also comes just as
the police themselves are
starting strikes and mass protests.
If they join the Yellow Vest rebellion in sufficient numbers, it's curtains for the regime.
Much is at stake in Paris, so 'every little bit helps' in terms of distracting, demoralizing and dividing police and people alike.
