In Arras, Gérald Darmanin rewards the police officers who intervened during the attack at the Gambetta high school. Six of them were elevated to the rank of knight of the Legion of Honor.

“You neutralized the terrorist, you prevented the assassination from turning into a killing, you protected and rescued teachers, agents, children at the risk of your life,” declared the minister. For Brigadier-Chief David Buzyn, one of the police officer made a knight, “it is not easy to receive all the merits after what happened on the day of the tragedy”
