    Professor David Wilson says the three shooting incidents define the man as a “spree killer”, rather than a serial killer.

    Experts categorise serial killers as those who murder three people or more over a period of more than 30 days.

    Professor Wilson says the tight streets of the French city make it difficult to escape in a car.

    He said: “He is using a scooter rather than a car and it would also be why I imagine he is wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet.

    “That probably has something to do with the fact that he works locally, or lives locally, and therefore might be recognised.”

    If it turns out to be Iranians behind it, then Israel will attack.

    I also think it is the Iranians behind it somehow. Either through money or training, ideology or all three.

    Sorry, but as interested in criminology as I am, I really at this point could care less whether the shooter is a spree killer or a serial one. It doesn’t make me feel any better about what happened.
