France's Sarkozy To Travel To Jewish School Where Shooting Happened

French President Nicolas Sarkozy

PARIS -French President Nicolas Sarkozy will travel to Toulouse in southern France Monday to visit the Ozar Hathora Jewish school where a shooting occurred early Monday morning, his press office said in a statement.

Sarkozy will visit the school at 1030 GMT with Education Minister Luc Chatel and Richard Prasquier, the president of the council of France's Jewish institutions.

An unidentified shooter killed three people on the doorstep of the school minutes before classes were due to start Monday morning, a police officer told French TV news channel BFM TV. The shooting left several wounded, the police officer said. The shooter then left the school on a motorbike, he added.

Last week, a gunman shot three military personnel in front of an ATM close to their barracks and left on a motorbike.
