Horrible. The shooter is apparently linked to other attacks against the French Army. More links after the main story.
‘Looking to kill:’ 4 slain at French Jewish school
A motorbike assailant opened fire with two handguns Monday in front of a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two young sons and a schoolgirl. One witness described him as a man chasing small children and “looking to kill.”
One of the guns he used also been fired in two other deadly motorbike attacks in the area, officials said. French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested one person was responsible for all the killings.
A massive manhunt was under way and the terrorism alert level was raised to its highest level across a swath of southern France surrounding Toulouse. Hundreds of officers were increasing security at schools and synagogues around the country, and Sarkozy said 14 riot police units “will secure the region as long as this criminal” hasn’t been caught.
Monday’s attack revolted France, where school shootings and deadly attacks on Jews are extremely rare, and drew strong condemnation from Israel and the United States.
Sarkozy called it the worst school shooting in French history.
France, which has seen a low drumroll of anti-Semitic incidents, is particularly sensitive toward the Jewish community because of its World War II past of abetting Nazi occupiers in deporting Jewish citizens.
