Woman Wearing Traditional Muslim Clothing Threatens Passersby

At a subway station in Paris, France, a woman dressed in traditional Muslim attire threatened passersby with an explosion, prompting police to shoot her to stop the threat.

According to local media such as the French daily Le Parisien and Le Figaro, on the morning of the 31st (local time), the woman shouted "Allahu Akbar (God is great)" while putting her hand inside her clothing at the Fran?ois Mitterrand Library station, threatening an explosion.

Police who arrived at the scene evacuated citizens and sealed off the Mitterrand Library station. They ordered the woman to show her hand, but when she refused, they shot her in the abdomen to stop her. The woman was wearing an Abaya, a long dress worn by Muslim women.

No explosives were found on the woman or at the scene. The woman was transported to a hospital for treatment, and authorities stated that her condition is critical.

Earlier that day, the woman reportedly threatened passersby at the Austerlitz station (RER C) in Paris's 13th arrondissement, making statements supporting terrorism and saying, "I will blow everything up."

The judicial police have launched an investigation into the woman's threats of murder and other related incidents, and the National Police Inspectorate is also investigating whether the police's use of firearms was appropriate.

The station was closed to traffic for a while but reopened after 11 a.m. The RER C line, which includes the Mitterrand Library station, announced on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that trains would not stop at the Fran?ois Mitterrand Library station until 2 p.m. that day.
