Overview
- Officers were waiting for a 44-year-old man arriving from Rennes in a domestic-violence inquiry when he brandished a knife on the platform and reportedly injured himself.
- Police fired and struck the suspect in the leg before he was hospitalized with serious injuries, while a 53-year-old passerby was lightly wounded by gunfire.
- A security perimeter led to a partial evacuation of Montparnasse; SNCF reported four TGV cancellations and about ten delays of 10 minutes to 1 hour 40, with service largely resuming by the evening.
- The Paris prosecutor opened parallel probes handled by the third district police judiciary for attempted homicide on an authority and by the IGPN to review the use of firearms.
- In separate cases, gendarmes fatally shot a knife‑wielding man after a barricade incident in Blainville-sur-Orne, and a murder inquiry was opened after a woman was stabbed to death in Malakoff with a suspect in custody.
