Gunman Kills One, Wounds Two Others at Spokane School;
Unarmed Man Shouting "Allahu Akbar" Attacks Seven In Toulouse, France

The two wounded people are in stable condition. The shooter is, unfortunately, alive.

Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said one person was killed and that "the threat from the shooter has been eliminated" at Freeman High School in Rockford, south of Spokane.

"There was one shooter, taken down safely and is in law enforcement custody," Schaeffer said.

In France, a man attacked seven people with his bare hands while shouting "Shalom, Peewee!" or some other religious expression. Not sure what it could have been.

The man, believed to be in his early 40s, shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before launching an attack on members of the public on Avenue Frederic-Estebe.

Officers were quickly alerted to the situation by passersby and it took three officers to bring the situation under control, according to French news site La Depeche.

One man told local media: "We were chatting and he jumped on us. He first caught my son and then beat my daughter. We ran."

The attacker was not carrying any weapons but two victims were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
