Quote:'REVENGE FOR SYRIA!' Trebes hostage horror – ‘ISIS’ gunman kills butcher, takes eight hostagesThe Sun:
and shoot cop in French supermarket
The shooter is believed to be holed up in a Super U store in Trèbes, near Carcassonne.
'A GUNMAN yelled "vengeance for Syria" as he shot a policeman in a French town today, disturbing reports claim.
The shooter is alleged to have killed a butcher before taking eight hostages at a Super U store in Trèbes, near
Carcassonne, in a suspected terror attack.
"A butcher in the U-Supermarket has been shot dead," according an unnamed source in the town.
They added: "The gunman was heard shouting slogans about the war in Syria. He says he is representing Islamic
State."
‘He pulled out a gun and fired five times, wounding one officer,’ said another source in Trebes who claims to have
seen the man carrying grenades. He shot at reserve police officer who were jogging down the street, injuring one,
according to the M6 website.
Police are reported to have surrounded the supermarket in southern France.
French Interior Ministry said confirmed an operation was underway at the supermarket but gave no further details
on reports of a hostage situation.
ISIS is reported to have taken responsibility for the attack but the weakened terror group often does this as a
propaganda tool, even when it is not associated with an incident.
There are conflicting reports amid the chaos of the shooting, with L'independent claiming two men shot at the
cops from inside a car.
It claims one of the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité officers was rushed to hospital after taking a bullet
in the shoulder.
It comes more than four years after a night of terror in Paris, when ISIS gunmen slaughtered 130 in coordinated
attacks across the capital. Earlier this month, French president Emmanuel Macron said "France will strike" if
chemical weapons were ever used against civilians in the Syrian civil war.
