Paris suburb shooting suspect targeted people of Muslim or African appearance, prosecutor says

A man suspected of a deadly shooting near Paris last week has admitted targeting people of "Muslim, African or North African" appearance, prosecutors say.

A man was killed and seven people including a child were injured last Friday when an attacker opened fire as he drove through two western suburbs.

On Thursday the suspect was charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with a terrorist enterprise, the national anti-terrorism prosecutor's office (PNAT) said.

President Emmanuel Macron called it a "racist terrorist attack" and anti-racism demonstrations have been held around France.

Pengo Bossio Wangi, a 26-year-old French-Congolese martial artist, was killed in the shooting.
