It would be most excellent if the scumbag had been shot by a woman. And I hope the hospital doesn't try too hard to save his worthless hide - these days, cellphones are more valuable than their terrorist owners.

Good for them!!

A source close to the investigation claims the suspect is an Egyptian man who arrived in France at the end of last month.
An unconfirmed report by TV network LCI names the suspect as 29-year-old Abdallah EH, who arrived in France on a flight from Dubai on January 26. He was not known to security services, the network states.
A source told Reuters: 'According to the investigation's initial indications, it was an Egyptian national.'
