Killed 3 Kurds in Paris, the author intended to kill immigrants

French authorities say the man suspected of killing three members of the Kurdish community in Paris on Friday has told investigators he set out that morning with the intention of killing immigrants or foreigners and then himself.

The 99-year-old killed three people outside a Kurdish cultural center and wounded three others. It was one of the wounded who managed to disarm him, the Paris prosecutor's office said on Sunday.

The suspect in the shooting attack was arrested at the scene and sent to a psychiatric hospital on Saturday. His name has not been released. He is expected to face charges of racially motivated murder and attempted murder. In a statement Sunday, the prosecutor's office said the suspect had told investigators that a 2016 burglary at his home marked a turning point for him, sparking what he called "hatred of foreigners, completely pathological".

The gun attack in a populated neighborhood of Paris shocked and angered the Kurdish community, which jumped into protests, which were also accompanied by violent clashes with the police. The incident has raised concerns about hate crimes at a time when far-right voices have gained weight in France and across Europe. The suspect told investigators that he did not know the victims, whom he described as "foreigners, non-Europeans" and his enemies, a statement from the prosecution said.

Two of the injured are still hospitalized with leg injuries. Investigators are examining the computer and phone of the perpetrator of the attack, but have not found any confirmed links to groups representing extremist ideologies./VOA
