Orly airport: Man killed after seizing soldier's gun.
Orly Airport in France was closed following an incident. A man who's motive is yet unknown fired at police in North Paris at a checkpoint with a pellet gun before escaping in a car. 90 minutes later at Orly Airport, the man tried to take a gun off of a soldier before being shot by other soldiers on patrol. The man was on a watch list of radicalised individuals. It is unsure why the man tried to cause an attack and if it could possibly be part of a bigger story. Luckily, the attack was stopped before any one was killed or injured. Witnesses say that the airport was evacuated shortly after the incident took place and that it was chaos as passengers and airport staff ran out of the airport after hearing shots fired. The soldiers were to provide back up for the police after the Paris attack in November 2015.
