Shootings and arrest
A man opened fire from a vehicle in Trappes and La Verrière, near Paris, killing one person and injuring at least four others, according to Tages-Anzeiger. NZZ reported that a 12-year-old child was among those injured.
A suspected attacker was arrested, NZZ reported. The reports provide no further details about the suspect or the circumstances of the arrest.
Anti-terror inquiry
Macron described the incident as a “terrorist and racist attack,” according to NZZ. His characterization comes as France’s anti-terror prosecutor’s office examines the case, as reported by Tages-Anzeiger.
Tages-Anzeiger reported that anti-terror prosecutors are assessing a possible racist motive. The reports do not say that investigators have reached a final conclusion on the motive.
