FRENCH police believe a gunman arrested today for shooting one person dead and wounding several more may have been racially motivated.

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez called the attack a “deadly rampage” in Trappes, La Verriere, a suburb of Paris. He classified it as a “terrorist crime.”

Among the wounded was a 12-year-old girl who sustained severe injuries. She and two others are now fighting for their lives.

Trappes Mayor Ali Rabeh said the gunman appeared to have fired relatively randomly, targeting passersby at several locations including a playground.
