Crowds of well-wishers gathered Sunday in the French Alps town of Annecy to show solidarity with victims of a playground stabbing attack that left four young children and two adults hospitalized.
Annecy Mayor Francois Astorg called for a “citizens’ gathering’’ in the lakeside park where a man with a knife raced around stabbing people Thursday. City officials reopened the playground hours after the attack in an attempt to show the area was again safe.
