On 29 October 2020, three people were killed in a stabbing terrorist attack in a Roman Catholic church in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. The attack happened between 8h50 and 9h in the morning local time. The mayor of Nice said, this was a terrorist attack, and called it "islamist terrorism". The attacker is an 21 year old Tunisian. The three people who were killed are a seventy-year-old woman, a member of the clergy, and an a woman in her thirties. The woman in her thirties was able to flee, but she died in a restaurant near the church. This attack comes about a week after another one, where a teacher was stabbed, after showing cartoons of Muhammad. Local police who were nearby entered the church and battled with the attacker. The policemen used tasers before shooting at him, inside the church. The attacker was wounded, and has been taken to a nearby hospital. He is a 21-year-old Tunisian man. He entered Italy via Lampedusa in late September 2020. He travelled to Bari, Apulia on 9 October. He arrived in France in mid October 2020. He seems to have been in France without a permit.
