An armed man went on a rampage today in southern France, carjacking a vehicle, shooting at police and taking hostages in an hours‑long standoff at a supermarket.
Authorities say he killed three people and wounded others before being shot to death when French police stormed the market.
Among the seriously wounded was a French police officer who offered himself up in a hostage swap and gave police crucial details about what was going on inside the supermarket.
French President Emmanuel Macron said it appeared to be a terrorist attack, the first to hit France since he became leader in May.
