Paris Police Shoot Threatening, Veiled Woman at Train Station, Prompting Counter-Terrorism and Use of Force Investigations

Woman, previously known to authorities and flagged in 2021 for threats against counter-terrorism patrols, shouted threats and "Allahu Akbar" in packed Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand station before being shot; investigations ongoing into her actions and police use of force.

The October 31 incident, where the woman in a full veil shouted threats and 'Allahu Akbar' at the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand station, prompted the police to shoot her due to perceived danger.
This woman, reported to be in critical but stable condition after being shot in the abdomen, was known in 2021 for threatening patrols related to counter-terrorism operations, and had been evaluated for mental health issues.
No explosives were found on the woman or nearby, dispelling her threats of a bomb; two investigations were launched, one related to her actions and the other on the use of force by police.
These events happened amid high tension in France due to the Israel-Hamas war, which included a fatal school attack earlier in the month, resulting in the nation's counter-terrorism security alert being raised to its highest level.
There's been a discernable rise in anti-semitic incidents in Paris recently, with Stars of David being graffitied on buildings across the city, adding to the national tension.
