Two men who tried to rob a McDonald's outlet in eastern France got more than they bargained for when they found one of the tables occupied by off-duty soldiers from the country's GIGN special forces unit. Both men were apprehended, and one was shot. Lucy Williamson reports. (A member of the French special forces unit, GIGN, in Paris in May 2016. Credit: AFP / Getty)
