Witnesses said the attacker entered the tobacco shop shown above and stabbed the owners and a customer. He then went to a nearby butcher's shop and attacked more people. Witnessess say he was yelling "Allahu akbar!" as he wielded his weapon, but Inspector Clouseau says... wait for it... the motive for the attack is not clear. The words "Islamic" and "terrorism" are stricken from the vocabulary of today's Europe.
France's feckless Prime Minister Emmanuel Macaroni tweeted, "My thoughts are with the victims of the Romans-sur-Isère attack - the injured, their families." He promised light would be shed on "this odious act." Anti-terror police have not taken over the investigation, but said they were "monitoring developments."
According to French media, the suspect is a 33-year-old man who told police he was born in Sudan in 1987. He was not known to the police or intelligence services, news website France Bleu reported.
The flics attending the scene are wearing hazmat gear because all of France is under strict lockdown, because of the corona virus. All residents must stay inside except for essential outside activities such as shopping or going to the doctor. Apparently that didn't stop the jihadi. I suppose that, if nothing else, Mohammed -- just guessing his name -- could be charged with failure to practise "social distancing"!
