France will never forget his heroism," Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said on his Twitter account. EPA-EFFTop anti-terror prosecutor Francois Molins said the gunman had convictions for carrying a banned weapon and for drug use. Lakdim started his rampage in Carcassonne at around 10:30 am (0930 GMT), hijacking a car and shooting the two people inside, Molins said. He further demanded "the release of his brothers" from prison before shooting a supermarket customer and an employee dead. About 50 people were in the supermarket at the time, and though some people managed to escape, several remained inside.
