This Friday, January 3, around 2 p.m., a man attacked several passers-by with a stabbing weapon in the Hautes-Bruyères park in Villejuif, in Val-de-Marne. He killed three people: two women were injured and a man was killed. The individual then fled on foot in the park before being shot in front of a supermarket in L’Haÿ-les-Roses, the neighboring town. The police fired several shots to neutralize the attacker, as shown in this amateur video.

“More than a flight to L’Haÿ-les-Roses, it was rather a continuation of the attack. His idea was to project himself towards the shopping center of L’Haÿ-les-Roses, around ‘a Carrefour store where he imagined he would meet a lot of victims, “reported the city’s mayor, Vincent Jeanbrun, on LCI. Fortunately, the time it took to cross a long underground tunnel under the A6 allowed the police to intercept him before he implemented his plan.

“The BAC Villejuif police intervened very quickly to stop this mass killing,” said François Bersani, deputy departmental secretary of SGP-FO Police Unit. “The attacker, when the police arrived, pointed towards them with ostentatious weapons in hand in an attempt to kill them and the police used their assault rifle, which they are equipped with, to neutralize the attacker who fell to the ground, ” he said.
A story supplemented by information from Vincent Jeanbrun: “The aggressor then pretended to use what could have been an explosive vest, hence a new round of fire to neutralize the aggressor definitively.”
