Two Islamic terrorists stormed a Catholic church in France and beheaded an elderly priest, shouting “Daesh” over and over again – another term for the Islamic State.

The attack occurred in Normandy early Tuesday. In addition to the murdered priest, one other person was seriously wounded and is “between life and death,” official said.

The incident occurred during morning mass in the town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray. Two terrorists stormed the church and took two nuns and several parishioners hostage. One of them, an elderly priest named Father Jacques Harmel, was immediately slaughtered. Another nun managed to escape and notify authorities.

Police arrived within minutes and the hostage situation lasted for another 40 minutes.

When it was over, another hostage was stabbed and the two terrorists were killed, The Sun is reporting.

French President Francois Hollande and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve are reportedly travelling to Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray in Normandie following the terrifying hostage attack. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has expressed “horror at the barbaric attack”. This is the latest incident to shock France following the Bastille Day massacre in Nice on July 14 and the terrorist attacks in Paris last November.

A source, who lives locally, said: “A third nun escaped and raised the alarm, and anti-terrorists officers were on the scene within minutes. “It appears that the priest who was celebrating the service was attacked first, and had his throat cut. “The area around the church was sealed off, and then armed officers appeared with their weapons. I heard at least a dozen shots.” Units attending include the elite RAID, the anti-terrorist unit that was heavily involved in the Paris attacks, in which almost 150 people were murdered.

The Vatican confirmed the “barbarous” killing.

The hostage situation ultimately ended after several gunshots were heard within 15 seconds of each other. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attack is the latest in a series of deadly assaults across Europe – just 12 days after a 31-year-old Tunisian man killed 84 people in the French Riviera when he plowed his truck into a crowd of Bastille Day celebrants.
