Paris shooter who killed three people admits being ‘racist’

A 69-year-old white French gunman who opened fire at a Kurdish cultural centre in Paris killing three people told investigators he was racist, a source close to the case said Saturday.
The shots at the centre and a nearby hairdressing salon shortly before midday on Friday caused panic in the bustling 10th district of the French capital, home to several shops and restaurants and a large Kurdish population.Three others were wounded in the attack that the gunman attributed to his being “racist”, the source said.
He was found with a case loaded with a box of at least 25 cartridges and “two or three loaded magazines”, the source added.
