Macron condemns deadly shooting near Paris as racist terrorism
President Macron condemned Friday's drive-by shooting in Trappes and La Verrière as a racist terrorist attack. One person was killed and five were wounded, including a 12-year-old girl shot eight times. Police arrested the suspect, named only as Kévin T, and investigators reportedly found gas cylinders rigged in his car.
Why it matters
France's anti-terrorism prosecutors are treating the attack as racist and probably anti-Muslim, adding to tension during nationwide protests.
Background
Trappes is a suburb west of Paris with a large Muslim community. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez called the shooting "clearly a terrorist crime."
