The man, who was on a terrorist watchlist according to the Interior Ministry, had been on the run after the attack in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre near the western city of Nantes. Eighty officers were dispatched to pursue him and two gendarmes were wounded during an exchange of fire that resulted in the arrest of the suspect, authorities said, with one suffering from shock.More Related News
