Three people have been killed and several wounded at a Kurdish cultural centre in the French capital.
The suspect's father told AFP:"He was a quiet man, as they say. He was really withdrawn. He didn't live like everyone else. This morning, he said nothing when he left. He must have been up to something on his own."Advertisement
The shooting occurred at midday at a Kurdish cultural centre and a restaurant and hairdresser nearby, according to the mayor for the 10th arrondissement, Alexandra Cordebard.Police cordoned off the area on a busy street with shops and restaurants near the Gare de l'Est train station. Three people who were hit in the shooting have died, one is in a critical condition, and two others are in hospital with less serious injuries.
Violent protests have since broken out in nearby streets, with riot police firing tear gas to try to disperse an angry crowd which was flinging projectiles at officers.President Emmanuel Macron tweeted:"The Kurds of France have been the target of a heinous attack in the heart of Paris. "Thoughts to the victims, to the people who are struggling to live, to their families and loved ones. Recognition to our law enforcement for their courage and composure."
