A deadly shooting took place recently near Paris, France. One person was killed and at least four others were hurt. Among those injured was a 12-year-old girl who was shot eight times during a drive-by attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken out about the violence. He officially called the shooting an act of terror. He also described it as a racist attack.
Police are looking into the details, but the nature of the crime has shocked the area. The man who died has been identified as a local martial arts fighter.
This event has sparked a larger conversation in Europe. People are starting to ask if hate crimes are becoming more common across the continent. French government officials have been quick to label this incident as terrorism because it seems to have been done to target specific people because of who they are.
Right now, the investigation is ongoing as authorities try to figure out exactly how this happened and who is responsible for the violence.
