NICE: A knife-wielding man killed three people at a church in southern France Thursday, practically beheading a 60-year-old woman in what President Emmanuel Macron called an “Islamist terrorist attack”. The body of a man, a 55-year-old church employee, was found nearby inside the basilica, his throat also slit. Another woman, a 44-year-old who had fled the church to a nearby restaurant, died shortly afterwards from multiple knife wounds. The victims were “people targeted for the sole reason that they were present in this church at that moment”, said Ricard. “A woman came in straight from the church and said, ‘Run, run, someone has been stabbing people’,” he told AFP.
