Killer of French police officer, woman broadcast scene live on Facebook, source says

Source: CNN

The man who killed a French police commander and a woman broadcast the scene of the attack live on Facebook Monday night, a French source close to the investigation told CNN.

Larossi Abballa carried out the deadly knife attack in Magnanville, northwest of Paris, the source told CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank.

He stabbed the commander to death before taking the officer's partner and their 3-year-old son hostage at the couple's house, French officials said.

A SWAT team then killed Abballa after a standoff. Police found the body of the woman, a civil servant at the Interior Ministry, at the scene, French officials said.

would seem to be a growth industry at this point in time

not to mention other non-affiliated losers who just want to vent their
hatred and anger at their self-perceived grievances and self-pity

The publicity and political hullabaloo fan the flames

I think that issue is much bigger in Europe where they have a much more lax vetting process in terms of letting in potential terrorists.

Who keeps making up these fake stories about straight religious people doing killings? We all know only 'the gay' do that! DU sez so.
