‘Terrorist Crime’: Suspect Arrested After 1 Killed in Paris-Area Shooting

FRANCE – A gunman firing from a vehicle in a Paris suburb Friday killed one person and wounded several others, including a 12-year-old girl, in what French authorities suspect may have been a racially motivated attack.

The shootings happened at three separate locations and took less than 15 minutes in total.

France’s National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s office took charge of the case and its interior spoke of a “terrorist crime.”

Mayor Ali Rabeh said the gunman appeared to have fired relatively randomly, targeting passersby at several locations including a playground, adding The person killed was of African origin, while one of those critically wounded was of North African origin.

A suspect was arrested and taken into police custody.
