Suspected Trappes Gunman Moved to Police Psychiatric Unit

French anti-terror prosecutors said the 39-year-old suspect was moved for 48 hours of psychiatric observation after a shooting that killed one person and wounded five.

  • On Sunday, October 25, The French National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor lifted custody for the 39-year-old suspect, Kevin T., transferring him to a police psychiatric unit for observation following a psychiatric examination.
  • The suspect was arrested on Oct 23 in possession of a submachine gun and tear-gas grenades after a shooting in Trappes and La Verriere killed Pengo Bossio Wangi, a 26-year-old man of Congolese origin.
  • Searches of the suspect's home in Plaisir uncovered a Bible, a Quran, and a copy of Mein Kampf, while investigators found cannabis and cocaine in his blood. A 12-year-old girl remains in critical condition.
  • President Emmanuel Macron branded the shooting a 'racist terrorist attack,' while PNAT stated the observation period 'should allow us to evaluate whether his state of psychiatric health is compatible with pursuing interrogation sessions.'
  • France faces elections in six months with far-right candidate Marine Le Pen leading in the polls, as the attack occurs amid deep political divisions that have heightened scrutiny of security and social tensions.
