Three dead and three injured in Paris shooting, reports say
The French interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, said at the scene of Friday’s shooting that it was “not certain … that the gunman was specifically targeting the Kurdish community” but more likely “foreigners in general”. More should be known about his motives after he had been questioned by police, Darmanin said.
The suspect reportedly had also been arrested twice previously: in 2016 for attempted manslaughter, and in 2019 for illegal weapons possession. Le Parisien cited an unnamed police source as saying he told officers during his arrest on Friday he “did not like Kurds”. Beccuau said France’s national anti-terrorism prosecution service had visited the scene but there was at present no evidence to suggest it would take over the case. A possible racist motive would “obviously be part of the investigation”, she added.as a “vile act”, expressing her gratitude to police and emergency services for their rapid response and her sympathy with the victims’ families.
One witness, a shopkeeper in the street, told Agence France-Presse that seven or eight shots had been fired. “It was just complete panic – everyone locked themselves in,” the woman said.
