A gunman has shot dead a teacher and three children at a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse.

He opened fire on the Ozar Hatorah school in the north-east of the city, also seriously injuring a teenage boy.

The attacker fled on a scooter, in similar style to the killer of three soldiers in two separate incidents in the same part of France last week.

Police say the same .45 calibre gun was used in all three attacks. The search for the killer is now under way.

Sources close to the investigation say the number plate of the scooter has now been recovered from CCTV cameras at the entrance to the school.

A special service in memory of the victims is taking place at one of the synagogues in Toulouse. There will also be a silent march in Paris at 20:00 (19:00).

President Nicolas Sarkozy, who flew to Toulouse, described the attack as a "national tragedy". He has called for all schools in France to observe a minute's silence on Tuesday and vowed to hunt down the killer.

All candidates in the French presidential election have suspended their campaigns.

Somehow both news stories fail to mention that the soldiers were of North African origin... we seem to be dealing with a very much oldstyle racist here.

Maybe. However, it could also be someone who viewed the soldiers as apostates.  Whatever the killers motives hopefully they can capture him soon.

Great, and whatever the killers' identities are, it could have an impact on the outcome of the presidential election one way or the other.

Yeah, it looks like the slaughterer is the same.

It's been quite a shock here in France, to the point that candidates have suspended their campaign (the official campaign begins today) and news keep talking about that.

...and Sarko has launched the Anti-terrorist protocol (the so-called "Plan Vipirate") at the maximum level of alert.

I believe these attacks on soldiers and now on this school are the work of a radical lone wolf Islamist or neo Nazi.

And as I've learned through Wikipedia a couple of minutes ago, it's usually called "Plan Vichypirate" by civil rights activists.

Hopefully the standoff ends with dead bad guy....unless he has intel on compatriots that we couldn't get from other evidence.

Quote from:   Martha Gellhorn for The Atlantic 1961
The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

In one of those moments of utter shudderworthy shuddering it emerges that this man was actually known to the police.

There were mistaken reports that he was arrested... I guess they'll have to wait until he falls asleep.

I hope he and his compatriots are caught, interrogated, given reduced sentences if they cooperate and (if found guilty in a fair trial) sentenced to death if they do not.
