A man armed with a knife was been shot dead by security forces Thursday after attempting to enter a police station in northern Paris, police sources said.
The shooting took place outside a police station in the Goutte-d'Or area of the French capital’s 18th arrondissement, the sources told Reuters.A witness told AFP he had heard "two or three shots" fired by police.
Paris police confirmed shots had been fired without providing more detail.
Pictures posted on Twitter showed a man, the alleged assailant, lying on the pavement after being shot with what appeared to be a police bomb disposal robot inspecting the body.
The incident took place as France marked the one-year anniversary of last January’s terror attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
