After the deadly shooting in the Paris area, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez described the incident as an "assassination operation". "The investigations are still ongoing, but it is clear that we are dealing with the crime of assassination," he told reporters in Trapp.

Thursday morning, October 23, a man shot from a car in several towns near Paris. In this incident, one person was killed and four others were injured, some of them in a serious condition. A 12-year-old boy is also among the injured. The suspect was arrested shortly after the shooting.

The Minister of the Interior said that the motives for this action still need to be determined definitively. Relying on the words of the prosecutor in charge of the case, he added that racist motives may have been involved. No further information was initially released about the attacker's possible motive.
