#1 La Belle France "will not yield an inch to the enemies of freedom" President Emmanuel Macron said after the attack

The "freedom" here is freedom of immigration?

#2 Paris attacker born in Chechnya, was on radicalism database
The official said the assailant, born in 1997, had French nationality but was born in the largely Muslim Russian republic of Chechnya, where extremism has long simmered. The official wasn't authorized to be publicly named speaking about an ongoing investigation.

The man had no record of arrests or criminal activity, and didn't know his victims, Interior Ministry spokesman Frederic de Lanouvelle told The Associated Press.

Lutheran, most likely. You know how they are

#4 Update from The Times of Israel:

...was on the so-called “S file” of people suspected of radicalized views who could pose security risks, the sources said, though he did not have a criminal record.

His parents have been taken into custody. Investigators have not yet said when the man arrived in France.

Many but not all of the people on France’s S file (the “S” stands for security) have been involved in the series of deadly jihadist attacks that have killed some 245 people across the country since 2015.

The watch list contains anyone suspected of being a radical, including potentially dangerous religious extremists but also leftist and far-right activists.

A separate list, the File for the Prevention of Terrorist Radicalization (FSPRT), focuses on people judged to be terror threats.

That list currently has nearly 20,000 people, of whom about half are under active surveillance.

It’s good to see that the police killed the jihadi within ten minutes of the first phone call, but the cost to maintain that level of police presence must be very high. It would be cheaper to send all non-citizens on the S and FSPRT lists back to wherever they came from, and do the same after revoking citizenship of those who acquired it after immigrating.

Citizenship was not intended to be a national suicide pact.

#5 His parents have been taken into custody.

So now they just need the 'girlfriend'/handler. She has probably already returned to Georgia.

That list currently has nearly 20,000 people, of whom about half are under active surveillance.

Maybe a free distribution of 'Macron' phones can aid in tracking.
