Paris Police Action This AM?

 Well....what the official news is from Paris....some Islamic gal (no age given, in traditional garb) had stopped in the middle of some Metro/subway station and started yelling about a 'bomb' and repeating 'Allah Akbar'.

Police approached....asked for calmness....got no response.  Then fired one shot into her (no description on distance, but I doubt it's more than 60 feet).  No reporting on her condition (yet). 

Maybe ten years ago, French police would have screwed around for an hour or two....trying to talk rational sense into a scene like this.  Lot of things in the past decade have changed.  

Here's the thing....if she's alive (I would assume)....she'll have to go to some court after the ambulance/hospital visit.  The court reaction?  Probably a 30-day mental health mandated visit,  and if they can't say she's rational or making sense....she ends up in long-term mental care.
