Who is the man who opened fire in Paris: details

The shooter in Paris was a Frenchman who had been a member of a shooting club and possessed a collection of weapons. This was stated by France's Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin. According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, prosecutors are now investigating possible terrorist motives behind the incident.

It has been reported that charges have already been filed against the man for "racist acts involving the use of weapons."

Media reports indicate that the suspect is a 60-year-old man. Police have detained him. Eyewitnesses reported hearing seven to eight shots in the street. It was also reported that the man shot himself in the foot while in a barbershop.
