Two people have been killed and four more people have been injured in a horror Paris shooting, sparking "total panic", according to local reports.
The killer allegedly opened fire at a Kurdish cultural center in the tenth arrondissement in the north of the city center.
He reportedly managed to get seven or eight shots away before officers wrestled the gun from him.
A shopkeeper in the local area told the news agency AFP that she had heard the incident.
She said: "it was total panic. We locked ourselves inside."
The gunman was described by police sources as "Caucasian", of French nationality and known for two previous attempted murders in 2016 and 2021.
His motives remain unclear, but his identity and his target immediately raised suspicions that the shooting could have been racially motivated.
It warns French President Emmanuel Macron, his government, and MPs of "several deadly dangers" threatening France, including "Islamism and the hordes of the banlieue" - the impoverished immigrant suburbs that surround French cities.

A lot of racial tension in Europe right now, for obvious reasons. Especially in a country like France where the 'leader' says 'There is no such thing as French culture.'
