Five people were killed in shootings in northern France, including near a migrant camp, and a 22-year-old man turned himself in to police, according to French media.
Unnamed security sources told media in France that four people – two security guards and two migrants – were shot dead along the Lone Plage coast near Dunkirk.
The gunman also allegedly confessed to an earlier shooting in the nearby town of Wormhout, according to Agence France-Presse.
Local media reported that weapons were found in the suspect's car, and Dunkirk Mayor Patrice Vergreti said the motive behind the attacks “remains unknown.”
BBC News has contacted local authorities for comment.
Vergret described the incident as a “tragedy” and said that “someone coldly killed several people” in the area.
Xavier Bertrand, president of the region's association, confirmed on Channel X that five people had died in a “tragic event.”
French media reported a large emergency services presence near a migrant camp, although it is unclear whether the shooting took place inside the settlement.
Loon-Plage is home to several temporary settlements that house migrants. It is close to Calais and the Strait of Dover, the narrowest part of the Channel.
Similar camps have been used along the northern coast of France by people trying to reach the UK via small boats.
