A man opened fire with an automatic weapon from his car at a crowd in Trappes and neighbouring La Verrière, west of Paris in the Yvelines. One person described as of African origin was killed, and others were injured. The shooting is being treated as a probable racist crime, and the phrase 'racist terrorism has struck' captures how the killing is being read. The incident comes roughly a year and a half after a Tunisian hairdresser was murdered, a case that also carried racist overtones. Firing from a vehicle into a crowd points to a planned attack on people gathered in public. Fear has returned to a region already marked by a similar killing not long before. Details about the shooter's identity and any arrest were not included in the report.
