Gunman opened fire in central paris on monday, killing three people and wounding three others. the attacker targeted a kurdish community centre and restaurant, and prosecutors said they would look into a possible racist motive. a suspect, aged 69, was quickly arrested and it soon emerged he had been freed from prison recently.
