“One person was killed and four others were seriously wounded when gunshots were fired from a vehicle in a Parisian suburb on Friday (October 23, 2026),” French authorities said.
Ali Rabeh, the leftwing mayor of Trappes, said that the gunman had set out by car on Friday morning “firing at random, wanting to cause a bloodbath” as he drove through the town and neighbouring La Verrière.
Mr. Rabeh said the person killed was of African origin, while one of those critically wounded was of North African origin.
The shooting happened as France braces for another day of protests against the high cost of living, with major museums closing their doors and the government deploying a significantly larger security presence to prevent a repeat of last week's violent unrest which shocked the country.
