A drive-by shooting in Trappes, Yvelines (west of Paris) resulted in one fatality and four injuries, including a 12-year-old girl. A suspect has been arrested, and the national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office is monitoring the situation, though motives remain unknown.
One person was killed and at least four others were injured in a shooting in the Yvelines district west of Paris, and a suspect has been arrested, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Friday. Ali Rabeh, the mayor of the Yvelines town of Trappes, told BFMTV that a man had fired shoots from his car and “appeared to be firing at random and seemed intent on carrying out a massacre.” He said one of those injured was a 12-year-old girl, adding that the shooter lived in a near-by town. There was no information so far about his motives, he said. Lecornu wrote on X that security forces had been fully mobilised. “The national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office has announced that it is monitoring the situation,” he added. Representatives for the prosecutor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and the prefecture declined to comment. The anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office confirmed it was monitoring the case. This story is breaking and will be updated.
