PARIS
\nA 69-year-old gunman opened fire at a Kurdish cultural centre and a hairdressing salon in Paris on Friday, killing three people and injuring three others, witnesses and prosecutors said.
\nThe shots shortly before midday (1100 GMT) caused panic in rue d\u00b4Enghien in the trendy 10th district of the French capital, a bustling area of shops and restaurants that is home to a large Kurdish population.
\nWitnesses told AFP that the gunman, a white Frenchman with a history of racist violence, initially targeted the Kurdish cultural centre before entering a hairdressing salon where he was arrested.
\nOf the three wounded people, one was being given intensive care in hospital and two were treated for serious injuries, officials said.
\nThe Kurdish community centre, called Centre Ahmet Kaya, is used by a charity that organises concerts and exhibitions, and helps the Kurdish diaspora in the Paris region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
