Two men armed with knives have been "neutralized" after taking four people hostage in the French city of Rouen, Normandy, police say.
One of the hostages - 84-year-old priest Fr Jacques Hamel - has been killed by the armed men.
Pope Francis has condemned the development as "absurd violence".
The perpetrators' motives are not immediately known.
