A 13-year-old girl was killed and five people critically injured when a man drove his car into a pizzeria on the outskirts of Paris on Monday night. The girl's brother is among the wounded.

"The driver, who French police said appeared to have been acting deliberately, rammed into the terrace of the restaurant in a shopping area at Sept-Sorts, a small suburb 34 miles (55km) to the east of Paris," The Guardian reports.
