FRANCE-POLICE-RELIGION-INVESTIGATION

France's Minister for Interior and Overseas Gerald Darmanin talks to the press outside a synagogue in the Normandy city of Rouen on May 17, 2024, where French police shot dead earlier a man armed with a knife and a crowbar who was trying to set fire to the building. Two separate investigations have been opened, one into the fire at the synagogue and another into the circumstances of the death of the individual killed by the police, the prosecutor said. The man threatened a police officer with a knife and the latter used his service weapon, he added. (Photo by Lou Benoist / AFP) (Photo by LOU BENOIST/AFP via Getty Images)
