Three people are killed in Paris by a gunman who targets “foreigners,” which elicits irate protest.

According to France’s interior minister, a shooting in central Paris on Friday resulted in three fatalities and at least three injuries. 

The shooting took place in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, a bustling and diverse neighborhood in the French capital that also happened to be home to an eatery, hair salon, and Kurdish community center. On Friday night, mourners and Kurdish protesters gathered nearby.

Officials identified the suspect as a 69-year-old French national who had previously been accused of racially motivated violence in an attack on migrant tent encampments. The suspect was being treated for face injuries after his arrest on Friday. Two weeks after his release from prison, he is currently the subject of an investigation into assassination, attempted murder, and deliberate use of force.

Some left-wing politicians have called for counterterrorism prosecutors to take over the investigation, but prosecutor Laure Beccuau told reporters she saw no justification for doing so. Terrorist attacks have been looked into as attacks of a similar scope carried out by Islamist extremists. The fact that the incident was not being treated as terrorism, according to Kurdish association representatives, was “unacceptable.”

French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted on Friday night that the Kurds of France had been the target of a horrifying attack in the center of Paris. Considerations for the victims, the survivors, their families, and their loved ones.

However, SOS Racisme, a French anti-racist organization, and leftist politicians claimed that the far right in France was inciting racism and hostility toward immigrants. The suspect acted “in an atmosphere of a very, very strong liberation of racist speech in our country,” according to Dominique Sopo, president of the far-right organization, regardless of whether he had previously belonged to one.

– PARIS

A man opened fire near a Kurdish cultural center and other businesses on Friday in the heart of Paris, killing three people and injuring several others.

The alleged shooter, a 69-year-old man, has been detained by police. The man was recently released from prison, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office, after attacking a camp for immigrants last year. Investigators are debating whether the shooting was motivated by racism.

A few hours after the attack, skirmishes broke out in the busy neighborhood as Kurdish citizens yelled slogans at the Turkish government and police opened fire with tear gas to calm the agitated crowd.

The shooter first opened fire at the Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Culture Center before attacking the Avesta restaurant and the Munzur hair salon, according to Berivan Firat, a representative of the Paris-based Christian Democratic Council in France( CDKE).

She claims that due to heavy traffic, a meeting was postponed on Friday at the cultural center.

She observed that only Kurdish-owned businesses were attacked on the street where the attack took place, despite the fact that it was crowded with stores owned by people from Africa and the Middle East.

Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, responded on Twitter. 

Members of the shocked Kurdish community in Paris demanded justice after the shooting after receiving recent warnings from police about threats to their targets.

A construction worker working close to the shooting scene described seeing the attacker visit the cultural center, restaurant, and hair salon in that order.

The worker described the assailant as silent and composed while brandishing a small-caliber pistol, but he asked that his name not be made public out of concern for his security.

The attack on Friday coincides with the 10th anniversary of an attack that killed three female Kurdish politicians in Paris in 2013, according to Firat, who reported that a total of 10 people were hurt and at least one was in critical condition.

Islamic extremists launched a series of deadly attacks against France in 2015 and 2016, and the country is still on high alert for acts of terrorism-related violence.
