Trappes gunman admits targeting Muslims and Africans

Original: French prosecutors say Trappes gunman admits targeting Muslims and Africans

French prosecutors say the gunman behind an attack in Trappes has admitted he deliberately targeted Muslims and Africans. The admission points to a racist motive and is expected to shape the investigation, which is being handled as a hate-driven act of violence. Authorities have not detailed a full account of the attack or a final charging decision.

Why now: The suspect's admission of a racist motive makes the attack a hate crime and raises concern about targeted violence in France.
