Investigators are „leaning towards“ treating Saturday’s attack on a Greek Orthodox priest in Lyon, France, as a „personal dispute,“ according to a source close to the investigation.
The incident sparked a major security operation Saturday in Lyon. Local residents and a municipal police patrol reported hearing two shots near the Hellenic Orthodox church in the city’s 7th district, the Lyon prosecutor’s office said in a statement. They saw a person running and later found the wounded priest at the back door of the church, prosecutors said.
