Sources reported on Saturday that ongoing clashes in Paris opposing Kurds to law enforcers have resulted in several being injured, with more updates to come as events further unfold in France's capital city.

As the second day of the protests began, Kurds initially gathered peacefully near the Place de la Republique by the thousands to voice their anger at what they believed was a Turkish-motivated attack on their community.

As demonstrators were marching toward the Place de la Bastille, the protests turned violent when they were met by law enforcers who blamed the Kurds for escalating the situation. 

Cars were turned over, bus stops were damaged, and garbage bins were set on fire, while protesters threw stones, sticks, and firecrackers at the police. 

While several have been detained by the police, others have been sent to the hospital for sustained injuries.

Yesterday, local sources reported that a 69-year-old man opened fire on the street in the 10th arrondissement of Paris at a Kurdish cultural center.

Three people died and another four were injured as a result of the shooting.

While the suspect was being interrogated, he told the police that his actions were motivated by racism. 

The suspect named William M. had previously been incarcerated for two attempted murders, the first in 2016 and the second in 2021. 

According to police sources, although he was known to the judicial services, he was never listed as someone ultra-right.
