Man Opens Fire at Eiffel Tower; 3 Wounded
A handcuffed man (with hands behind his back) got a policeman's gun and started shooting? Wow! I guess only in France:
PARIS - A Venezuelan man swiped a policeman's gun while handcuffed and opened fire Friday at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, injuring a police officer and two security guards, officials said. The man, who is in his 30s, was taken into custody after the incident, which occurred as he was being questioned for attempting to enter a restricted area of the Paris monument, police officials said. The suspect grabbed the policeman's pistol while his hands were cuffed behind his back, the officials said. The officer was shot in the arm, and a security guard suffered a bullet wound to the shoulder. A second security guard was grazed by a bullet. The man was not further identified, and an investigation was underway. |

I guess he was REtaken into custody.
He must be quite flexible to shoot them anywhere but in the foot!

Gee, I thought Europe was so anti gun that the cops did not have them. Guess that must just be the UK or a myth? Here in the US some of the cops are getting Tazer happy according to one article I read. My wife's dad has a tazer and although you might kill a thief with a heart condition it is still safer then a gun gun.
