Paris, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Apr, 2021 ) :An unidentified attacker shot dead a man and badly injured a woman outside a Paris hospital on Monday before fleeing the scene on a motorbike, police said.
The attacker fired several shots at the Henry Dunant private geriatric hospital run by the Red Cross in the upmarket 16th district, sources close to the investigation said.
"One person died and one is seriously injured," a fire service source said.
The two victims were taken into the hospital for treatment after the shooting.
