French authorities have detained a fourth person as anti-terrorism investigators question three others after a police official was fatally stabbed at a police station outside Paris. F rench police killed the Tunisian suspect on Friday after the killing of an unarmed administrative employee at the entrance of her police station in the town of Rambouillet. The suspect’s father is among the four people currently held, a judicial official said. A couple who had housed the suspect at one point and a member of his entourage, who was detained on Saturday, are also being questioned. The victim, a National Police employee, had left the station to extend her time on a parking meter and was followed into the entry area by the attacker, who was shot dead by a police officer. The attack jolted the French government into taking a deeper look at new steps needed to protect police officers. Interior minister Gerald Darmanin is to present a bill shortly giving new teeth to an anti-terrorism law, national intelligence coordinator Laurent Nunez said on BMFTV.
