Attacker shot dead at Paris Orly airport

French soldiers have reportedly shot a man dead at Paris’ Orly airport after he tried to grab one of their guns.

French TV channel BFM TV said that the airport was evacuated following the incident. A security operation is underway at the airport – Paris’ second largest - and bomb disposal experts have been dispatched.

Last month, a man wielding knives was shot after he attacked soldiers at Paris’ Louvre museum.
