Paris Shooter Was "Clearly Targeting Foreigners": France Interior Minister

The man, a retired train driver, "was clearly targeting foreigners", Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters.

A 69-year-old gunman who opened fire at a Kurdish cultural centre and a hairdressing salon in Paris on Friday was deliberately seeking out foreigners, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said.

The man, a retired train driver, "was clearly targeting foreigners", Darmanin told reporters, adding however that it was "not certain" that the man was aiming to kill "Kurds in particular".
