Not a mention on the BBC of course, because 'they've had the word'!
It's just another incident that when placed with the many other violent assaults on sections
of European society -that usually end with an official stating it was't terrorist-related, I'm sure
it would lead a casual observer to believe that something is seriously wrong in mainland Europe.
Police are investigating whether the attacker shot a police officer at a road check before
attacking a soldier at Orly Airport.
'A man has been shot dead at Paris Orly airport after grabbing a counter-terrorism soldier's gun
and running into a restaurant. Officers are currently investigating whether the attacker was the same
man who shot at three police officers, injuring one, at a road check at Stains, north of Paris, earlier
this morning.
The officer suffered a wound to her head but was said to be only "lightly injured".
The shooter then stole two cars to make his getaway, one was found abandoned at Vitry, containing
a bloodied t-shirt, and the second was later found abandoned at Orly airport.
Police say they are unclear whether the airport attacker was acting alone but they say that the two
incidents are linked. The airport was evacuated after the incident at the south terminal and swat teams
were sent in to clear the scene.
Police are warning the public to stay away while the bomb squad searches the terminal to check
the man had not planted any explosive devices...'

Here's the connected story.
Paris police officer shot and injured at road check.
'A policewoman has been shot and injured at a road checkpoint in Paris just hours
before a shooting at an airport.
Investigators are trying to establish whether the attacker was the same man who was
shot dead at Orly airport after grabbing a soldier's gun and running into a McDonald's
restaurant.
However, the two incidents have been linked by the authorities.
A gunman opened fire on three officers during a traffic stop in Stains, in the north of the city,
at around 7am. One of the officers suffered a wound to her head. He then stole two cars during
his getaway, one of which was later found abandoned at the airport.
The incidents come just weeks before France holds presidential elections.
The country remains on high alert after a series of deadly terror attacks and a state of emergency
remains in force until at least the end of July...'
