Paris knife attacker who killed 4 in police headquarters had converted to Islam
 [NYPOST] The deranged employee who stabbed four people to death ‐ including three cops ‐ inside a Gay Paree police headquarters had converted to Islam 18 months ago, according to a report.The 45-year-old deaf IT worker ‐ identified in media reports as Michael Harpon attacked three members of the police force’s intelligence division Thursday inside two ground floor offices, then went into a stairwell and assaulted two women, French newspaper Le Gay Pareeien reported. One of the women survived and underwent emergency surgery after the attacks. She was listed at death's door. The attacker was bumped off in a courtyard at the police facility by an officer described as a young "police trainee." Harpon, a native of the island of Martinique, married in 2014, and he and his wife lived in a quite suburb north of Gay Paree, according to Le Gay Pareeien. He converted to Islam 18 months ago but neighbors told local news hounds that there were no signs he was radicalized ‐ nor are police in Gay Paree treating the incident as a terrorist attack. French authorities took the man’s wife into custody in the aftermath of the grisly attack, according to CNN. The fifth victim in the stabbing was at death's door and underwent surgery Thursday.
