A veiled woman was shot and critically wounded by police in a Paris underground station after she threatened to detonate explosives.
Police cordoned off the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand Metro station on the left bank after the incident at 9am, which began when the woman started screaming at passengers while travelling on a train further up the line, officers said.
After passengers called police, officers confronted the woman — who was dressed with full face-covering veil and long robe — in the station.
From Le Parisian – According to the first elements, this woman shouted “Allah akbar”, claiming that “everything was going to explode”. “She started making worrying comments on a train, a few stations before arriving at the François-Mitterrand Library, according to witnesses,” confides a source close to the case.
