over the last few days. can you verify that? or have you heard that as well? we couldn t verify. i ve heard that same information as well, but i cannot verify that. i think the police are going to make theirjob and so we re going to see if it was right, that he was looking for a couple of days, but as deputy mayor, i don t have this information myself. what more do we know about the victims in terms of what they were doing in the park? were they with there parents or a nursery school on an outing? do we know any more about this? it was kids with their parents, grandparents, the people that wer, kindergarden, it wasjust like a normal morning. it was no school event or something, just people there, and we know that two of them were not french. we don t know if they were living in annecy or if they were here on vacation. we don t have any more information
about that either, because i think the parents and the families, they want to stay a little bit next to it and they don t want to give more information for now. and i heard also speculation, i ve heard the police were very quick in arriving on the scene after they were called. yes, but it s a place, they go there often, because it s a really crowded place, so they go there a lot in the day. so, i m not surprised that they were already there or not too far to be able to arrest the attacker very quickly. chantale, how is annecy going to come back from this? this is going to be so difficult for people to process over the coming days. what is being done to help people? well, we ve put in place some psychological help with a free phone number that people can phone. we also took into account
injured was a british national. we have already deployed british consular officials who are travelling to the area to make themselves available to support the family. the deputy mayor of annecy, chantale farmer, has been updating us on the situation on the ground. they are waiting for the police to say what they have discovered by interviewing the attacker, so we don t have any more news than what you said before. how are people in annecy reacting to this? it must be so completely shocking, i can t imagine. yes, they are shocked and devastated, they are really sad. they feel also some anger. so, we share this with them. we try to answer to some questions that we can. we try to protect the children because we had schools around, so we locked them down for a while. and so we had also to give information to the parents and also to the people working in those
the witnesses and the victims also, with the hospitals and with some doctors, so they could speak out. and we ve done it also in a school, because there was a class that was doing their sport on that field during the attack, and so we ve put the psychological help also in that school to help people to express and to try to find a way to help them, as we can. so, the phone number is on their website for the people. let s bring you some breaking news. in the last few minutes, we have been hearing from the mayor, you are watching their with the deputy mayor. the mayor told the french broadcaster bfm that the children are out of the operating room following this mornings attack, and
