Terrorist shooting in Paris suburb marks 'turning point for France', Emmanuel Macron says

Authorities say the suspect fired from a vehicle at multiple sites and investigators are examining possible racist and terrorist motives.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron described the shooting in the Paris suburbs of Trappes and La Verrière as a racist terrorist attack, calling it a turning point for the country.
  • The shooting on Friday, October 23, left one man dead and five people injured, including a 12-year-old girl who was seriously wounded.
  • Police arrested a 39-year-old suspect in the nearby town of Coignières after he allegedly opened fire from a car at several locations, including a medical centre, a petrol station and a playground.
  • France’s National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office took over the investigation to determine whether the victims were targeted because of their race, ethnic background or perceived religious identity.
  • Macron condemned racist ideology and urged national unity, while the shooting intensified concerns about rising social tensions ahead of further protests across France.
