Terror probe after one killed and several wounded in shooting in Paris suburb
Investigators are probing a possible terror motive after a drive-by attack left a 12-year-old girl seriously wounded and prompted a wider security response.
- On Friday, October 23, 2026, a gunman opened fire from a vehicle in Trappes and La Verrière, killing one person and injuring four others, including a 12-year-old girl, French police said.
- Police arrested the suspect near the town of Coignières shortly after the morning attack, though the assailant's motive remains unclear as authorities continue investigating the shooting.
- Reports indicate the shooter utilized a World War II-era STEN-type submachine gun, with Trappes Mayor Ali Rabeh noting the gunman "appeared to be firing at random" during the attack.
- French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu confirmed that the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office is monitoring the situation, with prosecutors opening an investigation into "murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise."
- Around 70,000 security personnel are on duty across France as the government aims to prevent unrest following recent cost-of-living protests that coincide with this weekend's heightened security measures.
