ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack after the killer got out of a car next to a parked police van and opened fire through the window before officers returned fire and shot him dead. A female foreign tourist was also wounded. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack and named the gunman using his alias Abu Yousif al-Belgiki – Arabic for ‘The Belgian’. Cheurfi was previously jailed for 20 years for shooting at cops after he was caught driving a stolen car in Roissy-en-Brie in 2001. But he was released early following an appeal ruling. Police said he had been detained in February after threatening police but freed soon after.
