France: Father, two sons and other child shot dead outside school

A father, his two sons and another child were shot dead in front of their school in France by a lone gunman today.

The attack came at about 8am, just before the start of lessons at the Jewish school in the south-west city of Toulouse.

Local prosecutor Michel Valet said the 30-year-old man and his three-year-old and six-year-old sons were killed in the shooting.

He said another child, between eight and 10 years old, was also killed, and a 17-year-old seriously injured.
