#TREBES

Armed police have shot a gunman who stormed a supermarket in Trèbes in the south of France. The gunman hijacked a car before taking hostages, with three people killed. @Billneelynbc posted: “#ISIS is not dead yet. At least in the minds of the petty criminals, wannabes & disillusioned of the West. This botched, almost pointless attack may further inspire – copy cat strikes quite possible now.”

@riyasharma266 stressed: “How is that possible? You can’t legally own a gun in France. Oh, wait criminals don’t obey the law.”

@lynger2000 exclaimed: “The Gendarmerie officer who took the place of a hostage & put their own life at risk is the true definition of a hero, so much respect!!”

#SALISBURYATTACK

Prime Minister Theresa May said European Union leaders were “standing together” over the Salisbury nerve agent attack as the bloc’s ambassador to Moscow was recalled “for consultations”.

@eucopresident stated: “#EUCO agrees with UK government that highly likely Russia is responsible for #Salisburyattack and that there is no other plausible explanation.”

@Jennifermerode added: “Emmanuel Macron: ‘A numberof countries, including France and Germany, will shortly take some coordinated measures.’”
