Three people were killed in a shooting in the middle of downtown Paris, France, in the middle of the day.

While it is likely to be a racist crime against migrants, migrants protested over the government's lack of response to repeated violence.

A mass shooting occurred near the Kurdish cultural center located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris.



Three people died and three were seriously injured.

The suspect caught at the scene is a 69-year-old French man with a prior conviction for attempted murder. It is said that he was arrested while attacking a migrant camp in downtown Paris.



Local media weighed in on possible racist hate crimes.



In the afternoon, Kurdish migrants who gathered at the scene of the incident protested, saying that the authorities were not letting go despite repeated violence.

This isn't the first time.

Violence against the Kurds is repeated, but I'm not used to it.]



Now, you can see hazy smoke behind me.



Police sprayed tear gas to disperse the angry crowd, making it difficult to breathe.



The morning murder has already turned into a commotion.



In Paris, similar violence has recurred in 2013, when three Kurdish women were found shot dead in the middle of the city center.
