History
[edit | edit source]2016 knife attack
[edit | edit source]The newly minted commune was the location of the 20 July 2016 knife attack on a mother and her three daughters (aged 8,[3] 12, and 14) at a local VVF Lagrand resort. The 8-year old was airlifted by helicopter to Grenoble because of a punctured lung.[4] The perpetrator from Morocco,[5] Mohamed Boufarkouch, shouted "Allah akbar" (Allah is great) several times in jail.[6] Boufarkouch, who has been on disability since 2009,[7] was in Garde-Colombe with his two daughters and his pregnant wife. The prosecutor indicated that terrorism is not seen as a prime motivator, and indicated there were "no signs of religious radicalisation" and the suspect's practice of the Muslim religion "has been moderate."[8]
