An individual opened fire in the middle of the street this Friday, October 23 in La Verrière then in Trappes, two neighboring towns in Yvelines, corroborating sources indicate to Le Figaro. He allegedly fired “in bursts” from the window of his car, indiscriminately, obviously with the aim of hitting as many people as possible.
A first report communicated by a police source and confirmed by the Minister of the Interior Laurent Nunez during a press conference at midday, shows one dead and four injured, but it remains to be consolidated.

The events occurred around 10 a.m., notably at the Trappes post office, Square Louis Pergaud or even a gas station along National Route 10, then near a nursery school and another kindergarten. “Be careful, there’s a guy driving around in a gray Clio who hits everyone in the area, going home is better,” writes a user on social networks.

The attacker, who was traveling in a gray Renault Clio, would have used a “Sten WWII” type submachine gun, our police source tells us. The suspect, a certain Kevin T., 39 years old and originally from Saint-Cyr-l'École, was reportedly arrested less than ten minutes after the first detonations, along the RN10, in Coignières (Yvelines). A search of his home is reportedly underway, mobilizing units from the Raid and the demining intervention group.
According to the Yvelines prefecture, the balance sheet “is not stabilized”. During his brief speech, the Minister of the Interior confirmed the referral to the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office (Pnat). “All the resources of the security forces and the judicial authority are fully mobilized,” Sébastien Lecornu said on X.
