One killed, four injured in drive-by shooting near Paris

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.
