Paris: Clashes erupt after deadly attack at Kurdish centre, Police clashed with protesters

Clashes erupted in Paris on Friday as shocked members of the Kurdish community in Paris demanded justice after a deadly shooting attack killed three people at a Kurdish cultural centre.

Members of the Kurdish community in Paris said they had been recently warned by police of threats to Kurdish targets.

The suspect is known to the authorities for racist attacks, and was wounded in the face as he terrified the neighbourhood. 

The retired train driver was deliberately seeking out foreigners, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said. But he added that it was "not certain" that the man was aiming to kill "Kurds in particular".

As evening fell, riot police fired teargas to push back an angry crowd a short distance from the scene of the shootings as projectiles were thrown at officers, rubbish bins and restaurant tables overturned and at least one car damaged.
