let's go live to cnn's nic robertson joining us live from london bizarre turn of events nic, that leds arrest right? >> wolf it was. this is surely a bungled terror plot if ever there was one. he shot himself in the leg, called for an ambulance. when the police came they realized there was something suspicious about him the way he was acting. he had the blood on his clothes of the woman who was found shot dead a little while earlier. he resisted when the police wanted to search his vehicle. when they went too his vehicle, they found three rounds three magazines full of ammunition 9 millimeter ps pistol satellite navigation system into which was programmed the coordinates of the church and this church according to police they discovered he had actually been in conversation with a man in syria, they say, who directed him to attack this church. so it's certainly on the surface right now looks as if the police have narrowly through this man's incompetence narrowly averted what could have been a terrible and very bloody attack. >> what do we know about the woman who was killed? >> >> she's

let's bring in cnn's senior international correspondent nic robertson with more on this.rosecutors were trying to lay out more details they have. first off, how did they end up apprehending this guy in the first place? >> well, i guess that's kind of the most shocking thing about it. it also makes you realize how lucky the french authorities were and french people were. he was picked up because believe it or not, he shot himself and called an ambulance. when the police arrived there, because he had been under investigation in 2014 and earlier this year, they realized that he was a person of interest. then they searched his vehicle and then they found all the weapons, the three cell phones, computer, flak jackets and more weapons when they went to his house. one of the key things emerging from this is he hadn't just been in communication with people inside syria. according to the french prosecutor, a man in syria had directed him to attack a french church and that french church was in the car when he was arrested. you have to worry what might have happened if he hadn't sho
