A man was shot dead by police as he tried to "set fire to a synagogue" in Rouen, France, on Friday.
The incident was reported by the newspaper Le Figaro, which said that police arrived at the scene at around 6:45 a.m. (5:45 a.m. in mainland Portugal), alerted after smoke was seen coming from the religious building.
Armed with a knife and an iron bar, the man advanced towards the police officers who were responding to the incident, and one of them ended up fatally shooting him with his firearm.
À Rouen, les policiers nationaux ont neutralisé tôt ce matin un individu armé souhaitant manifestement mettre le feu à la synagogue de la ville. Je les félicite pour leur réactivité et leur courage.

The mayor of Rouen, Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, reported that there were no other victims of the incident. The firefighters, in turn, took on the mission of controlling the fire at the place of worship, added Mayer-Rossignol, on the X (former Twitter).
Merci aux forces nationales, aux policiers municipaux, au SAMU, aux pompiers qui maîtrisent actuellement le départ de feu. Je suis sur place. A priori pas d'autres victimes que l'individu armé. Pensées et soutien total à la Communauté israélite de @Rouen . https://t.co/WTxZUFS4Ho
