The suspect, 26-year-old Redouane Lakdim, was killed in a police raid, Interior Minister G\u00e9rard Collomb confirmed on Friday<\/p>\n

The man pledged allegiance to Islamic State during the standoff, and Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, French Interior Minister G\u00e9rard Collomb said the he was known to the authorities as a petty criminal and a minor drug dealer but was not believed to have been radicalized, according to France24<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A\u00a0man\u00a0took hostages at the Super U, a French supermarket\u00a0in the southern French town of Trebes, Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The suspect fired six shots at police officers earlier that morning as they were on their way back from jogging in Carcassonne, according to the Associated Press. An officer had a shoulder injury, which Yves Lefebvre, secretary general of the SGP Police-FO union, described as non-life-threatening.<\/p>\n

The gunman, authorities said, demanded the release of Salah Abdeslam, believed to be the only surviving member of the terrorist commando group that carried out a series of shootings and bombings in Paris in November 2015 that left 130 people dead and hundreds more injured.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron said all evidence suggested that it was a terror attack — the first one since he became president in May.<\/p>\n
