In Bordeaux, France, a tragic incident occurred near the Garonne River where a man with a knife fatally stabbed one individual and injured two others. The assailant was subsequently shot and killed by police during the intervention. The attack, captured in videos shared on social media, has been declared by authorities as not terror-related, though the motive remains unclear. Bordeaux Mayor Pierre Hurmic is engaged in the ongoing investigation, supported by local officials and former mayor Nicolas Florian, who has commended the police’s prompt response.

Separately, in Italy’s Aosta Valley, a 22-year-old French woman was found dead in an abandoned church, under circumstances suggesting her involvement in a ghost-hunting activity for a TikTok video. Discovered with stab wounds and post-mortem gunshot wounds, the police are investigating her death, which involved her apparent draining of blood and lacked signs of a struggle. This incident has raised concerns regarding the hazards of participating in online challenges and stunts.
