On 23 March, an Islamist gunman killed four people in southern France.
He left many others injured and psychologically harmed. The 26-year-old said he was fighting for Islamic State and was demanding the release of the most important surviving suspect of the 2015 Paris attacks. He was shot dead by armed police.
One of the gunman’s victims was a policeman who chose to trade places with a hostage the killer was using as a human shield at a supermarket in Trèbes. The policeman’s family, friends and colleagues say he became a Christian eleven years ago.
