Hero French Cop Who Traded Places With Female Hostage Dies

Lt. Col. Arnaud Beltrame, the French police officer who swapped places with a female hostage during a supermarket attack in France, has died.

“Lt. Col. Arnaud Beltrame died serving the nation to which he had already given so much to,” French President Emmanuel Macron said. He hailed him as a hero.

The gunman shot Beltrame when he responded to Friday’s supermarket attack in the southern French city of Trèbes. source

Interior Minister Gerard Collomb announced the officer’s death Saturday, which raises the number of people killed to four.
