A gunman has opened fire in central Paris, killing three people and wounding four others.

Witnesses said the attacker targeted a Kurdish community centre and restaurant and prosecutors said they would look into a possible racist motive.

A suspect, aged 69, was quickly detained by police. Prosecutors said he was known to authorities.

Authorities appealed for people to avoid the area in Strasbourg-Saint Denis in the 10th district of Paris.
