Crime scene: A madman armed with a Kalashnikov has shot dead three people in a town in southern France
Police arrested a suspect aged about 20 near the site of the shooting. The young man had a record of minor run-ins with authorities, in particular for possessing banned guns, police officials in the city of Marseille said
A fourth person suffered head injuries as he fired indiscriminately at people in the street.
The young man had a record of minor run-ins with authorities, in particular for possessing banned guns, police officials in the city of Marseille said.
The victims appeared to be chosen at random as the suspect, who was thought to be psychologically disturbed, was not known to have had any previous contact with any of them.
't would seem that this person had a high-calibre weapon, a Kalashnikov, and fired at the crowd,' Interior Minister Manuel Valls later told journalists in Paris.
'It's very worrying and it once again shows the problem of weapons circulating around,' he added, speaking shortly before leaving for the site of the shooting.
France's second-biggest city has seen a spate of drug-related shootings with an influx of weapons from eastern Europe after the Balkans wars contributing to a rise in gun violence.
