It is going off in France, guys. I mean really going off.

This quote from the BBC article:
According to the manager of the service station that was robbed on the RN2 road in Aisne at about 10:30 (09:30 GMT), the attackers fit the description of the two men, and were heavily armed with Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.
That’s right, they may be armed with grenade launchers.
