Terror probe after one killed and several wounded in shooting in Paris suburb
France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor is investigating whether the victims were targeted for race or religion after the drive-by shooting.
- 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.
