Macron Calls Shooting Near Paris a ‘Racist Terrorist Attack’

French President Emmanuel Macron described a shooting near Paris as a “racist terrorist attack,” as a local mayor said the suspect had moved between several neighbourhoods while firing indiscriminately.

The mayor of Trappes said the suspect appeared to be seeking to cause “as many victims as possible.”

The mayor’s account described gunfire across multiple neighbourhoods rather than a single location. No further details were provided about the suspect’s movements.

The available information did not specify the number of people killed or injured, or whether the suspect had been detained.
