New Terror Attack in Lyon, France?

 Basic facts: a Greek Orthodox Church was the target, as one of their priests emerged from the structure yesterday.  The 52-year old priest was shot, but appears in decent condition. Shooter?  He was on the run, but some sources say a suspect has been arrested in the past eight hours.  

Type of weapon?  Well....this gets interesting....sawed-off shotgun. 

In 99-percent of terror attacks, the idiots always go for knives, assault-type rifles or automatic pistol type weapons.  Shotguns?  I just can't recall a single attack like that.  If the guy was using buckshot?  Well, they aren't the type of shotgun shell that you'd do damage to a guy (yeah, it'd hurt, but it wouldn't kill you).

Rounds fired?  Police say two....direct to the chest....from close range.  That's why I suspect it was buckshot.

This suspect arrested?  Not a lot is said, and one has to wonder if he's just someone who accompanied the shooter.  Nothing is mentioned over recovering the shotgun involved.
