A man armed with a knife attacked people out shopping in the southeastern French town of Romans-sur-Isere on Saturday, killing two and wounding five.
The town is currently under a coronavirus lockdown, although people are allowed out to buy essentials. "This morning, a man embarked a terrorist journey, killing two people and wounding five others," Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said during a visit to the town.
Castaner said security services would investigate the circumstances of the incident, working with the national anti-terrorism prosecutor who will decide whether or not to qualify the incident as a terrorist act.
