The alleged shooter, a 39-year-old man, was arrested shortly after the incident. Police are treating the attack as a potential terrorist act, with at least two victims believed to be of immigrant backgrounds. The victim killed appears to have been of African origin, while one of the wounded is in critical condition and of north African descent. The mayor of Trappes, Ali Rabeh, stated that the shooter was firing randomly and wanted to cause a bloodbath as he drove through Trappes and neighboring La Verriere. Trappes Mayor Ali Rabeh told BFMTV that a 12-year-old girl was seriously wounded after being shot eight times, but she is currently in stable condition. On X, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu described the incident as \"very serious,\" and President Emmanuel Macron promised support for the victims. The shooting comes amid heightened tension in France following recent riots and mass protests over the cost of living.",
