2016 attack[]

On 13 June 2016, Magnanville was the site of a terrorist attack. At about 9:00 p.m. local time, a 42-year-old police officer named Jean-Baptiste Salvaing died after being stabbed nine times by his neighbor who shouted "allahu akbar" and praises for ISIS while committing the stabbing. The terrorist then took Salvaing's wife and their son hostage in their house and later killed Salvaing's wife, also a police officer. RAID stormed the house and killed the terrorist and rescued the young boy. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack and the terrorist may have filmed the attack and sent it to jihadists in Syria.^{[citation needed]}
