I'm wondering what the backstory of this is, (Updated)

because the "One day he just snapped, with no warning" line is just about always BS.
A man armed with a knife killed at least four people, including three police officers, and injured several others during an attack Thursday inside Paris police headquarters--where the man was an employee--before being fatally shot, officials said.

Also:
French media reported that a staff member carried out the attack with a ceramic knife in part of the prefecture that is not open to the public.
If true, possibly using a non-metallic blade to get through metal detectors into a secure area?

And expect some Brit politicians/activists to start a cry to ban ceramic knives in 3, 2, 1...

Update: Muslim convert, employee at the agency, had argued with boss about having to work with women.

According to CNN, the assailant was a Chechen and yelled,"Allahu akbar" before or during the attack. So this story will be gone by tomorrow.

Saw the Daily Mail story. If true this'll probably go away pretty quickly.
