Victims of France School Shooting Will Be Buried in Israel
French President Sarkozy: “an Abominable and frightening Tragedy”
The four people killed during a horrific attack on the Ozar Hatorah Jewish School in the French town of Toulouse on Monday, March 19 - Rabbi Sandler, his two children Gavriel, aged 6, Arye, aged 3 and Miriam Monstango, aged 8, daughter of the school principal, will be buried in Jerusalem on Wednesday, March 21.
The four bodies are being flown to Paris by the French Air Force before El Al takes them to Israel.
Eyewitnesses to the attack said a lone gunman drove up to the school on a motorbike around 8 a.m. local time, as the students were arriving for the school day, and opened fire using two firearms. According to the local prosecutor, the shooter fired at “everything that appeared in his way” and chased students as they fled into the school. He then fled the scene.
In a statement made by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who called the attack “an abominable tragedy and a frightening tragedy” it was announced that schools across France would hold a moment of silence on Tuesday in memory of the victims. Sarkozy was accompanied in Toulouse by Richard Prasquier, president of the Jewish communal umbrella CRIF, and French education minister Luc Chatel.
In the Senate on March 20, France's Ambassador to Israel, Kristoff Bigot, said "This is not just a case of crimes against the victims this is a crime against democracy and against Israel's and France's shared values."
