A gunman opened fire on a Kurdish cultural center in central Paris, killing three people and wounding three others. Authorities said they had arrested the shooter
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.
The Paris prosecutor said the suspect was previously known to the authorities and that a possible racist dimension to the attack would be investigated. The incident was a "terrible drama", district mayor Alexandra Cordebard told reporters. Two of those wounded had suffered life-threatening injuries, she said.
The prosecutor said the suspected gunman had been detained a year ago for an attack with a sabre on a migrant camp in Paris and investigated for a racially motivated crime. Reuters was not immediately able to contact the suspect's representatives.Armed police were still guarding a security cordon as investigators swarmed the scene.
