In France, police officers have shot and killed a man who was allegedly trying to attack a police station in northern Paris Thursday, on the first anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. French authorities say the man lunged at officers with a meat cleaver as he yelled “Allahu Akbar.” The attempted attack prompted the closing of schools, shops and nearby streets. Authorities say they cannot yet confirm the man’s identity. Paris Prosecutor François Molins spoke out.

François Molins: “One year to the day after Charlie Hebdo, about 10 minutes to the exact time, a terror attack took place concerning an isolated individual who ran toward the police station in the 18th district of Paris, where two peace officers were keeping watch. He ran and hopped the barriers. The officers ordered him to stop once, twice—in any case they asked multiple times. He had his hand in his jacket on what turned out to be a meat cleaver.”
