French President Emmanuel Macron announced that a series of drive-by shootings in the suburbs of Paris was a “racist terrorist attack” that killed one person and injured five others, including a 12-year-old girl.

“These people were targeted because of their skin color or perceived religion, and for no other reason,” Macron said after the attack.
