One dead, nine wounded in French knife attack

Lyon (AFP) - A 19-year-old man was killed and another nine wounded, three seriously, on Saturday in a knife attack near the French city of Lyon, a regional official and emergency services said.

Two men, one armed with a knife and the other with a skewer, carried out the attack in Villeurbanne, a Lyon suburb, in southeastern France, the official said, without giving further details on the motive for the stabbing.

One of the men had been arrested by police but the second was on the run. The attack took place close to a metro station.

An AFP journalist at the scene witnessed a body being taken away in an ambulance and traces of blood on the ground.

The national anti-terrorism prosecutor's office had been informed but had not taken charge of the case at this stage.

Last May, a parcel bomb in front of a baker's shop in central Lyon left 14 people slightly injured.

The perpetrator, a young radicalised Algerian, who was arrested three days later, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, according to his confession.

Lyon, France's third largest city, until then had remained untouched by the wave of jihadist attacks that has killed 251 people in France since 2015.

Can we get a waiting period before buying this kind of an "assault knife".
Another note. I like buying my guns from the french! Never fired. But they have been dropped once.

one of the suspects hijacked a USPS vehicle. a rather dastardly ploy. who suspects a mail carrier? but also not exactly a vehicle that blends in.. probably doesn't intend to get taken alive.

as usual you miss the point. people kill and they'll find a way no matter what you ban, stan.

Of course you do.

I thought the stock answer is that it was lack of mental health care for gun nuts.

That’s Trumpleforeskin’s latest tune.

Tomorrow it’ll be “let’s arm the police with flamethrowers.”

Then he’ll ask The NRA to weigh in.

Not everyone who posses a firearm is mentally ill. Not every mentally ill person is violent or homicidal either. You combat crime by confronting the man. Stupid ass liberal politicians want everyone to believe these shootings are caused by mentally ill people who can get guns. It's bullshit and anyone that goes along with this politicizing of Gun Violence deserves to get shot.

No the stock answer is ban assault rifles(which actually aren't assault rifles) and politicize additional background checks/etc,
while blaming the issue on white supremacy.

And yet, Those same screaming for that can't offer up an instance where any of what they are screaming for would have necessarily stopped even one of the the shootings.

Just look at how quickly Philly was forgotten about when it didn't fit the narrative.
