(Reuters) – A car plowed into the outdoor terrace of a pizzeria in the small town of Sept-Sorts east of Paris on Monday, killing a 12-year-old girl and seriously injuring several other people.
The driver deliberately targeted the diners, said a local prosecutor who announced he was ruling out terrorism and opening a murder investigation.
“There is no doubt that he voluntarily decided to create what happened,” prosecutor Eric de Valroger told reporters at the scene of the incident.
No weapon was found in the vehicle, the prosecutor added.
Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told Reuters the driver was a “depressive” aged 32 and described him as an unstable character.
The incident occurred on a warm summer’s evening on the eve of a national holiday and witnesses said the outdoor eating area was busy.
Oh, look! Another restaurant incident happened in Burkina Faso a few hours ago.
BBC:
Gunmen have shot dead 18 people and injured others at a cafe in the centre of of the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, the government says.
At least eight foreigners and seven locals were among those killed in Sunday’s evening attack on the Aziz Istanbul cafe, the government added.
The gunmen, thought to be jihadists, fired on customers on the terrace before making their way inside.
Two attackers were killed in a siege which lasted into the morning.
President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré condemned the “cowardly terror attack”, saying the people of Burkina Faso would not give in to terrorism.
The foreigners killed include two Kuwaitis, and one each from Canada, France, Lebanon, Nigeria, Senegal and Turkey, Burkina Faso’s Foreign Minister Alpha Barry said. However, Canada’s foreign minister said two Canadians had died.
Three victims have not yet been identified, Mr Barry said.
A jihadist attack on a nearby cafe in January of last year killed 30 people. MORE
I’m not a local French prosecutor or anything, but I think jihadis enjoy wrecking restaurants. Of course, it may be just a coincidence…
I’ll bet the leftest scum blames Trump!
What am I Missing here ? Maybe a Name For the Guy and where He’s From !
If It’s Murder then is it Attempted Murder on Every person out there ?
It’s TERRORISM to Me !!!
“the driver was a “depressive” aged 32 and described him as an unstable character.”
That seems to be the ongoing defense of these ass-wipes killing people. The driver who killed that woman yesterday and injured many, is a schizophrenic who beat up his disabled mother. Just wipe them off the face of the earth.
Sure sounds a lot like they are trying to do everything but publish the name of this depressed, suicidal, unknown scumbag.
Exactly. According to the Muslim mayor of London England, a whole lot of his muslim subjects are mentally ill.
Whoever All These Depressives are Tied to Politicaly, Really Doesn’t Matter !
They are Mental Land Mines and Will Explode, but We’re Not Supposed to Judge Anymore… They’re Just Creatively Unique People , Who Need to Express Themselves !!!
You Biggots !
Aziz Istanbul Café?
60% muslim.
Burkina Faso means “Land of Incorruptible People.”
I suspect the perps suffered psychotic breaks after living for so long with the shame of living in a place called Ouagadougou. I hear when people from Ouagadougou visit places away from home, people laugh and point at them and call out, “Ouagadougou! Ouagadougou!” while scratching their armpits and beating their chests.
I certainly hope that we await all the facts before we pass judgement upon this poor individual. It’s not as if he was a white male and it was Trump’s fault.
Work place violence on the rise?
I WILL HELP THE FRENCH RID THEIR COUNTRY OF FASCIST SCUM!
That’s exactly what I’d say if the French were willing (they’re not) and if they were not such irascible obnoxious shitheads who would blame me for saving their country.
No thanks. Bailing out liberal Europe for the 3rd time is not going to happen. Stay on your sinking ship you RATS!
Ya can’t blame the muslim driver…..he absolutely can not stand pork on his pizza. /s
