The 45-year-old cop, who had been severely injured in assault, died on Saturday night. This was shared by French Interior Minister Gérard Collomb. The official, Arnaud Beltrame, had voluntarily entered force of perpetrator in supermarket hostages, who had already killed two people re before.

Beltrame had left his phone with an open connection on a table. So forces could have heard what was playing in supermarket. The man was fatally injured when attacker shot him under unexplained circumstances – n police stormed building and shot terrorist Radouane L. Two or officials were also injured in access.

“By giving his life to stop murderous escapades of a jihadist terrorist, he has fallen as a hero,” said French president Emmanuel Macron. Collomb tweeted: “France will never forget its heroism, its bravery and its sacrifice.”

Macron also said that terrorist threat is now primarily from within – from people who have radicalized mselves. France, however, is no longer in such a situation as it was two or three years ago, when attacks in France were controlled from Iraqi-Syrian war zone. This was case, according to investigators in Paris terrorist attacks of 13 November 2015.
