A teacher was beheaded on a street near Paris after hosting a class discussion with secondary school students about cartoons of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, police said.
The suspected killer, who was armed with a knife and a plastic pellet gun, was later shot dead by officers in a nearby town.
French authorities have launched an anti-terror investigation.
The victim, a history and geography teacher, was decapitated near a school in the commune of Conflans Saint-Honorine, northwest of the French capital, at around 5pm local time.
Police told the AFP agency that the teacher had shown the cartoons depicting the prophet to his class.
His alleged attacker was reported to be 18 years old, of Chechen origin and born in Moscow.
Officials said he was shot dead in the neighbouring town of Éragny after he acted in a threatening manner and failed to respond to an order to put down his weapons.
