Adding to the tensions, France is reeling from a shooting that authorities are investigating as a potentially racist and Islamophobic terrorist attack. One person was killed and five others wounded in the Paris suburbs of Trappes and La Verrière, including a 12-year-old girl who was shot eight times. Police arrested the suspected gunman, and investigators reportedly found three gas cylinders rigged to a timer in his apartment, as well as a submachine gun in his car. The French president has condemned the attack, while the mayor of Saint-Denis has denounced the impact of hate speech.
