PARIS (Reuters) – Police shot and critically wounded a hijab-wearing woman in a Paris metro station on Tuesday morning, local broadcaster BFM TV said, after commuters reported her behaving in a threatening manner.
“Out of fear for their own safety, police agents used their weapons,” a police spokesperson told Reuters. The spokesperson could not say what in the woman’s behaviour had prompted the officers to shoot her.
