lieutenant Colonel Arnaud Beltrame, 45, died overnight of gunshot wounds, Reuters reports.

據路透社報道，45歲阿諾·貝爾特拉姆中校因槍傷在夜間身亡。

Interior Minister Gerard Collomb announced Beltrame's death in a Tweet, he said: "He died for his country. France will never forget his heroism, his bravery, his sacrifice."

內政部長傑拉德·科隆姆在一則推特上公佈了貝爾特拉姆的死亡，他說道：“他爲他的國家而死，法國永遠不會忘記他的英雄行爲，他的英勇和他的犧牲。”

The attacker has been identified as 25-year-old Moroccan-born Redouane Lakdim, who was shot dead by police in the hostage standoff in Trebes.

攻擊者已被確定爲25歲的摩洛哥裔勒杜安·拉克迪姆，他在特雷布的人質對峙中被警察槍殺。

Beltrame's death brings the number of people killed in the attack to four. Two of the other victims were inside the supermarket, while the third was killed during a carjacking in the nearby town of Carcassonne.

貝爾特拉姆的死使襲擊中遇難的人數達到四人。另外兩名遇難者在超市內，而第三名遇難者則是在附近的卡爾卡鬆鎮發生的劫車事件中遇害。

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Reuters.

據路透社報道，伊斯蘭國已聲稱對此次襲擊事件負責。

President Macron said of Beltrame in a statement: "In offering himself as a hostage to the terrorist holed up in the Trebes supermarket, lieutenant colonel Beltrame saved the life of a civilian hostage, showing exceptional self-sacrifice and courage."

法國總統馬克龍在一份聲明中提到了貝爾特拉姆：“貝爾特拉姆中校讓自己成爲特雷布超市裏恐怖分子的人質，從而拯救了一名平民人質的生命，展現出了非凡的自我犧牲精神和勇氣。”
