Man kills 8, wounds) H
30 in council shootim
NANTERRE, France (AP)
—- A man opened fire with
automatic pistols at the end of a
city council meeting in a Paris
suburb early Wednesday,
killing at least eight people and
wounding about 30 others,
including 14 seriously.
Police arrested the suspect,
who was described as some
one who was active in local
politics and had attended sev
eral council meetings.
The man did not speak dur
ing the shooting and did not
make any clear statement when
he was arrested, officials said.
The attacker used at least
two automatic pistols, said res
cue worker Laurent Vibert, and
50 shells were scattered inside
the meeting room. Vibert said
the suspect, said to be in his
30s, was apparently a member
of the leftist Green Party.
“It’s apparently a case of
furious dementia,” said Prime
Minister Lionel Jospin, who
rushed to the scene. “A horrify
ing tragedy that harms democ
racy — a city council meeting
in action,” he said.
Dozens of police vehicles
and more than 100 rescue offi
cials rushed to the scene. A res
cue helicopter took some of the
wounded to a nearby hospital.
The bloody rampage took
place at about 1:15 a.m. as
about 40 people attending the
meeting put on their coats to
leave. Nanterre is a middle-
class neighborhood near a busi
ness district of western Paris.
Local Mayor Jacqueline
Fraysse said she did not know
the attacker. There had been no
heated debate and the meeting
was ending quietly when the
shooting began, she said.
“I ended the session,” she
said. “A man got up. He had
been sitting in the public area.
He shot straight in front of him,
and then he moved to where the
council members were sitting.”
“He said nothing ” she said.
“It was long. It lasted many
minutes.”
Rising crime is at the top of
France’s political agenda
ahead of presidential elections
in the spring.
Thousands of police offi
cers held nationwide strikes in
December, saying they deserve
more pay and better equipment
because their jobs have
become increasingly risky. The
protests started after two offi
cers were shot and killed dur
ing an armed robbery' in a Paris
suburb in October.

LONDON (AP) — McDonald’s customers
should know that coffee and tea are served hot
and can burn them if spilled, a British judge said
Wednesday in a ruling against 36 people who
claimed they were scalded by drinks bought at
the fast food chain.
High Court Justice Richard Field said
McDonald's has no obligation to warn customers
about the risk of scalding.
Timothy Horlock, a lawyer for the play
had argued that that McDonald's served(h'
