A KNIFEMAN has been shot dead by police in Paris after he reportedly ran at cops in complete silence with a blade in each hand.

The suspect is said to have “thrown himself” at officers in Dugny, seven miles from the city centre, this morning.

An investigating source revealed the details around the standoff.

They said the man was sitting at a bus stop with a knife in each hand.

“When police turned up, he ran towards them, without saying a word,” the source added.

One of the officers then used an electric stun gun, without managing to control the man. 

Another officer then quickly opened fire with his pistol and hit the suspect in the chest. 

There were attempts to revive the man but he was declared dead at the scene.

An investigation was immediately launched by the Seine-Saint-Denis territorial security service, as well as the National Police General Inspectorate.

Her friend has posted a snap taken of Maria moments before she fell.

In a post on fundraising site JustGiving, pal Victoria Critchley said: “We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support for the family of Maria Eftimova.

“Our dear friend tragically lost her life in an accident whilst scrambling Tryfan on Saturday 22nd of February 2025.

“Maria was an ambitious, bright and cherished 28-year-old, whose vibrant personality, energy and aura touched and uplifted all around her.

“She had a passion for engineering, having studied civil engineering at the University of Salford and a love for extreme sports.

“Her biggest passion being snowboarding, which she was super excited for and looking forward to doing again on her upcoming trip to Austria. She had an insatiable thirst for life and exploring our world’s beauty. Tragically, she was taken from her family far far far too soon!

“Words cannot express the devastation her family and our community are experiencing.

“Adding to their immense grief, the family, who reside in Bulgaria, face a significant financial burden to repatriate Maria and give her the dignified farewell with her loved ones that she deserves.

“The costs associated with international repatriation are substantial, and we want to alleviate the added burden/stress so they can focus on mourning their precious daughter.

“Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a tangible difference in enabling the family to grieve without this added worry.

“Please join us in offering them comfort and support during this incredibly difficult time. By sharing human kindness through even the tiniest donation, we can demonstrate that they are not walking this path alone. Any and all donetions made will go to Maria’s family.

“Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue attended and did everything within their powers to save Maria. We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude for their efforts and will create a separate fundraiser.

“Thank you for your kindness and generosity. With love from Maria’s friends and Family.”

An Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation statement said: “A group was ascending the north-ridge when one of them fell 20 metres into steep terrain.

“Passers-by with climbing equipment abseiled down and made her safe, and a team member already nearby made his way down and started CPR.

“Colleagues from [The Welsh Ambulance Service] stood by at base while the [coastguard] helicopter dropped team members onto the mountain.

“Unfortunately, the casualty had not survived her injuries, and she was brought down to Oggie base.”

ONCE upon a time, in the far off land of Sun Bingo, there lived many bingo players, who were looking for fun games to play and incredible offers to use.

Today marks National Tell a Fairy Tale Day.

Fairy tales can be an important part of growing up. They help to install moral lessons that we use throughout our lives.

Should you help someone in need? Yes, often a good deed comes back around.

Should you act on feelings of anger or jealousy? No, most likely it won’t end well.

Fairy tales created a way to impart wisdom on children in a fun yet educational way.

PLAY IN THE DEAL OR NO DEAL THEMED ROOMS

For instance, you shouldn’t go into the woods alone as there are wolves who like to eat solo travellers.

You also shouldn’t accept sweets from strangers, they may turn out to be witches who want to eat you.

Tale as old as time

The term “fairy tale” was coined by 17^th century French writer Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, countess d’Aulnoy, when she released Les Contes des Fées (fairy tales) in 1697.

WHAT CAN YOU GET FOR A PENNY? FIND OUT HERE

The countess published 25 stories in total, most of which had characters who were fairies.

Her stories include some familiar titles such as The Story of Pretty Goldilocks and Cunning Cinders.

Brothers Grimm

Probably the most famous fairy tale authors, Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, published their first collection of fairy tales, Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales) in 1812.

They wanted to preserve traditional folklore when oral storytelling was becoming unpopular.

More volumes were published, amalgamating in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, which contains just over 200 stories.

Among these titles are some of the best known fairy tales:

• Sleeping Beauty
• Rumpelstiltskin
• The Frog Prince

Hans Christian Andersen

The other main source of the fairy tales still told today is Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales.

Andersen began publishing fairy tales in 1835 with Fairy Tales Told for Children.

He eventually published 168 tales in total. Andersen’s collection includes:

• The Little Mermaid
• Thumbelina
• Ugly Duckling

Not-so-happily ever after

Fairy tales have had to change a lot since they were first told.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PICKING A BINGO ROOM

For instance, the original endings to some of the classic fairy tales would be considered far too gruesome today.

In the original Cinderella, the stepsisters chopped off bits of their feet to make them fit into the glass slipper.

The evil queen in Snow White was forced to wear burning-hot iron shoes and dance until she died.

When the sorceress learned that Rapunzel was going to run away with her handsome prince, she cut off Rapunzel’s hair, lured the prince to the tower and pushed him from the window, blinding him as he fell on thorns.

CONSIDER this a timely reminder that Dream Team managers can reverse their transfers any time before the deadline.

Morgan Rogers (£3.8m) is currently the most transferred-out player this week despite the fact he appears to be a strong option for Gameweek 26.

Dream Team

Rogers is not injured, far from it…[/caption]

The Aston Villa midfielder picked up a minor injury against Chelsea last weekend and was considered a doubt for his side’s trip to Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.

However, not only was Rogers named in the starting line-up at Selhurst Park, he scored a classy goal as part of a 10-point return.

It was a sobering night for the Villains as they succumbed to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Oliver Glasner’s side but a 12th goal of the season for their skilful No27 should prompt thousands of overzealous Dream Team bosses to rethink their strategy for the upcoming Gameweek.

There’s no doubt Rogers’ availability question mark was a significant factor in his popularity drop but Tuesday night’s events have changed the outlook dramatically.

Rogers is in line to start against Club Brugge[/caption]

Far from a player to ditch ahead of Gameweek 26, the 22-year-old appears to be an easy hold.

Unai Emery’s side are one of only two teams (Manchester United being the other) set to play twice this coming Gameweek, although rotation is to be expected against Cardiff in Friday night’s FA Cup fifth round fixture.

Even if Rogers doesn’t feature at all against the Bluebirds, he is virtually guaranteed to start against Club Brugge in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

And given five teams will blank in Gameweek 26 around some unpredictable fixtures in the FA Cup, keeping hold of Dream Team’s sixth-best midfielder seems sensible.

Looking further ahead, Villa are one of just six teams with two fixtures in Gameweek 27: Brentford (a) and Club Brugge (h).

Rex

Villa have two fixtures to fulfil in Gameweek 26[/caption]

Having been a bit-part player in the second half of 2023/24 following his arrival from Middlesbrough, Rogers has become one of Emery’s most trusted regulars this season.

Among outfield players, only Youri Tielemans (£4m) has played more minutes for Villa in the Premier League at this stage of the campaign.

Rogers has amassed 215 points via 19 goal involvements.

He’s also registered more successful dribbles (83) than any other player in the game, his main source of bonus points.

His disciplinary record is a worry as only Crystal Palace’s Will Hughes (£3m) has received more yellow cards this season but his strengths far outweigh his weaknesses.

Rogers shouldn’t even be among the top five most transferred-out players for Gameweek 26, let alone number one.
