officer in the French gendarmerie From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arnaud Jean-Georges Beltrame (18 April 1973 – 24 March 2018) was a French lieutenant colonel in the National Gendarmerie and Deputy Commander of the Departmental Gendarmerie's Aude Groupment.[1]
Beltrame was killed by a terrorist at Trèbes after having exchanged himself for a hostage. After a three-hour stand-off, the terrorist stabbed him the throat and shot Beltrame.[2]
French President Emmanuel Macron said that Beltrame deserved "the respect and admiration of the whole nation."[3]
