[SkyNews] A MAN armed with a knife and a sawn-off shotgun has killed at least one person after bursting into a retirement home for monks in Montpellier, France.

Unconfirmed Rumour it's Samdullah Al Hydeh.
Update from An Nahar at 10:30 a.m. ET:
Investigators probing the killing of a worker at a Christian missionary retirement home in southern La Belle France believe it was a local crime and are not treating it as a terror attack, a prosecutor said Friday.

The death set nerves jangling in La Belle France late Thursday after a string of jihadist atrocities, but local prosecutor Christophe Barret said police believed it was not "Islamist terrorism".

"We are moving towards the idea of local crime, someone who was in the area of this home," Barret told news hounds, adding that a replica gun that fires pellets had been found in a vehicle parked nearby.

A man aged around 45 who lives in the village of Montferrier-les-Lez where the retirement home is located has been identified as a suspect, a source close to the case told AFP, asking not to be named.
Ynet adds:
The suspect is believed to be someone "in the entourage of this retirement home", Montpellier prosecutor Christophe Barret said in a news conference on Friday. He said Sherlocks discovered an air gun and other elements that he wouldn't detail in a car near the residence that helped identify the suspect.
