Catholic Church attacked and Priest was killed by IS soldier in a horrifying event. An 84-year-old priest, Fr. Jacques Hamel was killed and four other people taken hostage by two armed men, who claimed to IS, who stormed his church in northern France.
The two attackers slit Fr Jacques Hamel’s throat during a morning Mass.
Police later surrounded the church, and shot dead both hostage-takers.
One of the hostages is in a critical condition in a nearby hospital.

The statement said the pontiff is praying for those affected by the tragedy, which took place in the Normandy region, adding that the Vatican is following the situation.
