A madman with a knife attacked people—seemingly at random—in a busy section of Paris Saturday before he was fatally gunned down by police, BFM TV reported.

At least one person died and eight others were wounded in the attack, carried out near the Palais Garnier opera house, according to Le Parisien.

"I just saw the man knifing random people," wrote Twitter user Esohe Denise Odaro.

A police spokesperson confirmed the stabbing.

"Attack in the Second Arrondissement of Paris by an individual armed with a knife, attacker brought under control by the police service. More information to follow."

That was an assault knife! Unlimited high capacity thrusts and slashes! No one needs one of these! Was it black? If it was, that’s even scarier!

Nobody needs nothing more than a plastic butter knife. All knives should be banned. Cut your steak with a fingernail, if it can save just one life.

I’m waiting on the latest Party directive from Gruppenführer Hogg.

Only he has the wisdom to lead us. Well, according to the loony liberals.

Sad for the victim(s). Solution is to ban all those “assault knives.”

"Authorities" in Paris still saying "we don't know the motive yet... this could've been done by a deranged person."

Yet there's this from the UK's Independent:

Paris attacker 'shouting Allahu akbar' shot dead by Paris police after stabbing victims in street

“Sudden Jihad Syndrome?”

You win on the first guess!
Paris police have now said they have opened a “terror” investigation.

"North African youths" of Paris - article from January 2017:

GANGS of North African youths have terrified Chinese migrants amid complaints they have become 'too rich'.

I love Paris, but it's just NOT safe anymore. Hubby and I were nearly involved in 3 terrorist attacks in Paris back in the 1990s -- three separate trips. One Metro bombing in August 1995 was a very close call.

The perps were all Algerian Muslim 'migrants' who lived in the vast No Go Zones of Paris.
