Dunkirk Shooting Leaves Five Dead, Suspect in Custody

Authorities investigate a 22-year-old suspect's motive, focusing on possible professional grievances linked to the victims.

A 22-year-old suspect, Paul D., has been arrested following a shooting spree in Dunkirk that killed five people on Saturday, December 14, 2024.
Investigators are exploring a professional revenge motive, as the suspect had prior connections to his first three victims, including an ex-employer and two security guards from a previous workplace.
The suspect reportedly exhibited a calm and detached demeanor during his arrest and interrogation, with his lawyer suggesting he may not fully grasp the consequences of his actions.
Two additional victims, believed to be migrants, were killed near a camp, with authorities suggesting they may have been randomly targeted.
The suspect, who had no prior criminal record, turned himself in to local authorities, and multiple firearms were recovered from his vehicle.
