Police Officer Wounded, Attacker Killed in Knife Attack in Paris Ahead of Olympics

French authorities reported that a man injured an officer with a knife in the Champs-Elysees neighborhood, prompting police to shoot and kill the assailant. According to Paris Police Chief Laurent Nunez, the attack did not appear linked to the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics. Nunez also defended the police response as "totally proportionate." A source stated that the officer was attacked while responding to a call from officers securing a store. This incident comes on the heels of another violent attack against French security agents earlier this week, with no terrorist motive suspected in either case.
