    What's the story

    A man armed with a knife killed one person and seriously injured two others today morning in a town about 30km southwest of Paris, a police source said.

    The man was "neutralized" by police in Trappes after trying to hide in a building, the source said, without specifying if he had been killed.

    It was unclear if the violence was terror-related.

    Here's more.
