Deadly shooting near Paris is a 'racist terrorist attack', Macron says

French President Emmanuel Macron has labelled a gun attack in a Parisian suburb that killed one person and injured five others "a racist terrorist attack".

Macron said the attack was a "turning point in the life of our Republic and our nation" - the first time there had ever been a random racial killing like this.

The attack unfolded over some 15 minutes, with the attacker opening fire from his car - first in Trappes, to the south-west of Paris, and then in nearby La Verrière - appearing to target people of migrant origin. He was subsequently arrested.
