1. Daily Mail:
A deaf civilian police worker who had recently converted to Islam was shot dead in Paris today after murdering four colleagues with a ceramic knife following a ‘dispute over working with female colleagues’.
Michael Harpon, 45, caused the bloodbath in the French capital’s historic Police Prefecture, next door to Notre Dame Cathedral.
Investigators have not ruled out a possible terrorist motivation for the Thursday afternoon attack, which left a woman and three men dead.
All were repeatedly stabbed by Harpon, who had worked in the IT department at the Prefecture since 2003, in the worst loss of French police lives in a single day since World War II.
Harpon had recently been referred to his boss over his refusal to greet women, Actu17 reported.
(It should be noted that other news reports explain that he was working in a secured part of the police station. That he murdered his colleagues with a ceramic knife that would not be seen by the metal detectors used for that part of the building. This means he knowingly brought in a weapon that could not be detected, and more importantly means this was not a spontaneous result of an argument but was a premeditated act of jihad.)

Knife attack at Paris police HQ: At least four officers dead, suspect fatally shot, reports say
[…]
French Interior Minister Christoper Castaner is en route to inspect the crime scene, according to local media.
The suspect is believed to have been an administrative officer working in a secure part of the building, making it easy for him to enter the premises, a source told the Sun newspaper. It is thought that he used a ceramic knife that could not be picked up by metal detectors.
Thank you all who sent in links on this story. For once, the media, which did try and hide the jihad and islamic connection to this attack, was defeated to a degree in their attempted mass deception. In a way they still are by trying to make this look spontaneous when the weapon has to have been smuggled in by the jihadi in advance of this event, making it premeditated by any definition, and given the nature of the argument, clearly Islamic Jihad.
He married a Muslim woman in 2014, and converted to Islam before the birth of their first child.
