Frankreich: Terrortat bei Paris – Festnahmen im Umfeld des Verdächtigen
Ein Toter und fünf Verletzte: Nach den Schüssen in Trappes und La Verrière bleibt der Hauptverdächtige in Polizeigewahrsam. Die Ermittler prüfen Spuren in seinem engeren Umfeld.
Paris - In the wake of the shooting incident in the Paris region, three additional individuals linked to the familial and social circle of the suspected perpetrator have been apprehended, according to the Parisian anti-terrorism prosecutor's office. These measures were taken overnight and early Friday. On Friday, one individual from the suspected perpetrator's close circle was already arrested. The prosecutor's office declined to provide further details on the apprehended individuals upon request.
Reports from French media regarding the mother of the 39-year-old suspected perpetrator being among the detained have not been confirmed by the authorities. The police custody of the primary suspect was extended the following morning following an initial interrogation. His health status was deemed compatible with this measure, and a blood test was being conducted to determine his "toxicological burden."
On Friday, a man opened fire from a vehicle on an open street in the communes of Trappes and La Verrière, resulting in one fatality and five others suffering from severe injuries, including a twelve-year-old girl. The suspected perpetrator was apprehended shortly thereafter. President Emmanuel Macron denounced the incident as a "racist terrorist attack." The minister referred to it as a "terrorist act" in France.
