Woman making terror threats, shouting 'Allahu Akbar' shot in Paris

Paris police opened fire on a woman who threatened to blow herself up after allegedly making death threats and speaking in support of terrorism on a train heading into the French capital Tuesday.

It was the latest security incident in France, which has been on heightened anti-terror alert since a fatal stabbing at a school on Oct. 13 blamed on an Islamic extremist.

Two police officers together fired eight shots, seriously wounding the woman, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. It said she was hospitalised for emergency treatment.
