Sarkozy calls shooting a 'frightening tragedy'

A gunman has opened fire in front of a Jewish school in a southwest French city killing several people, the Toulouse prosecutor said Monday. The shooter drove away on a scooter, a national police official in Paris said. The official did not wish to be named in line with departmental rules.
