A shooting targeting a Kurdish cultural center in a bustling Paris neighborhood Friday left three people dead and three others wounded, authorities said.
Nearby residents and merchants were deeply rattled by the attack, which came as Paris is buzzing with festive activity before the Christmas weekend.
A construction worker who was on a job nearby described seeing the assailant go first to the cultural center, then to the restaurant and then the hairdresser. The construction worker told The Associated Press that he saw the assailant injure three people, then two passersby intervened and stopped the attacker.
She said anti-terrorism prosecutors are in contact with investigators, but haven’t indicated any sign of a terrorist motive. He lamented the suspect’s recent release, as did Kurds who gathered at the scene of Friday’s shooting.
