PARIS — A knife-wielding assailant killed a 29-year-old man and injured four others in a lively neighborhood near Paris' famed Opera Garnier before he was killed by police Saturday night. The Islamic State group claimed the attacker as one of its "soldiers." Paris police officers evacuated people from some buildings in the Right Bank neighborhood after the attack, which happened on rue Monsigny at about 9 p.m. (1900 GMT.) The unidentified attacker targeted five people and then fled, according to Paris police and a witness. A friend came to her aid and the attacker left, "hitting on all the doors, all the shops," the witness told BFM.
