A French prosecutor charged on Monday William Mallet, the shooter who killed three Kurds in a shooting spree at a Kurdish cultural center in Paris last Friday. 

The charges Mallet received were murder and attempted murder because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion, as well as for the unauthorized procurement and possession of a weapon. 

As the charges were being filed, thousands were marching the streets of Paris to pay tribute to the dead.

Last Friday, 69-year-old Mallet 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.

The incident subsequently sparked massive riots in the capital city - right as they were preparing to commemorate the 10th year since three activists have been mysteriously murdered.

On Sunday, sources reported that William spent a day at a psychiatric facility where he admitted he had developed a "pathological" hatred for foreigners and wanted to kill them since a burglary took place at his home in 2016.

At the initial stages of questioning, William described himself as depressive and had suicidal tendencies. 

A judicial source said the man had planned to shoot himself in the head with the last bullet after he had completed the attack. 

When a search was carried out at his parents' home, where he resided, investigators say they did not find evidence suggesting he had links to extremist ideologies. 

He had reportedly attempted to carry out an attack in one of Paris' suburbs but later aborted the plan.

William was freed on December 12 this year on grounds that he awaits trial for a saber attack he carried out at a migrant camp in Paris last year.
