Gunfire from car: "Bloodbath" near Paris - Terror investigations underway
While France is anxiously eyeing the protests impending on Saturday, a horrific act occurs near Paris. One person dies, several are injured. What's behind it?
A shooting attack near Paris has left one person dead and five others injured, including a 12-year-old child. The suspect, a 1987-born man with a prior conviction record, was arrested shortly after the incident and a probe has been launched by the Paris anti-terrorism prosecutor's office. French President Emmanuel Macron visited the affected area, condemning the attack as a "racist terrorist attack".
The mayor of Trappes, Ali Rabeh, believes the attack had an islamophobic motive, while the Muslim umbrella organization in France (CFCM) has called for vigilance in the face of hate ideologies.
