A gunman opened fire on a Kurdish cultural centre and nearby Kurdish cafe in central Paris on Friday (December 23), killing three people and wounding three others, and prosecutors said they were looking into a possible racist motive for the attack, Reuters reports.
Video footage shared on social media showed paramedics transporting one of the wounded to a waiting ambulance as members of public looked on from behind the police cordon.
Multiple gunshots were fired on Rue d'Enghien, sowing panic on a street lined with small shops and cafes in the capital's busy central 10th arrondissement, or district. Authorities said they had arrested a 69-year-old man and the incident was now over.
Armed police were still guarding a security cordon as investigators swarmed the scene.
