At least three killed in France hostage-taking by Daesh
Tehran (KNA) - At least three people have been killed after a gunman claiming allegiance to the Daesh terrorist group fired shots and took hostages in southern France.
An Interior Ministry source said two people had died at the hostage-taking incident at a supermarket in Trebes on Friday.
"It is a provisional assessment as it could unfortunately get worse. Three people are wounded, including one of them seriously," the source said.
The incident in Trebes took place after the man "entered the Super U supermarket at around 11.15 a.m. and shots were heard," a security source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Later, a police union official said the attacker had also killed one person with a bullet in the head in the nearby town of Carcassonne before the hostage-taking.
