Shooting in Trappes Leaves One Dead and Four Hurt

One person died and four others were wounded in a shooting in Trappes, a suburb west of Paris. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu posted on social media that the incident was "very serious" and that the suspected gunman is now in police custody. A police source said a man fired a weapon from inside a vehicle on Friday, then fled the scene. He was tracked and arrested in the nearby town of Coignières at about 10:30 a.m. local time (08:30 GMT). French media reports suggest the number of injured could be higher and that a 12‑year‑old child may be among them. Lecornu added that the National Anti‑Terrorism Prosecutor's Office is monitoring the case. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are working to confirm the exact casualty figures. ## Context The attack adds to a series of recent violent incidents in the Paris region, prompting heightened security alerts. The National Anti‑Terrorism Prosecutor's Office typically steps in when an event is deemed to have possible terrorist links, meaning the probe may extend beyond a simple criminal case.
