Investigators found three gas cylinders wired to a timer inside the flat of suspect Kévin T., 39, who was arrested less than 20 minutes after the shooting began. His car held a Second World War-era Sten-type submachine gun and a tear gas canister. The man killed has been named by his club as Pengo Bossio Wangi, 26, an amateur mixed martial arts fighter. A member of the suspect's family was also held.

President Emmanuel Macron: victims were 'targeted because of their skin colour or perceived religion'.

The girl's mother asked: 'How could anyone do this to a child?'

The suspect had four previous convictions, all automatically expunged under French law.
