A father in Paris has thrown his two children, aged two and five, out of a window of his fifth-floor apartment, causing life-threatening injuries. The newspaper "Le Parisien" reported, citing the police, that there had been an argument in the family on Saturday evening. The father jumped after his children and died. The further background is still unclear. The authorities set up a medical-psychological support service for residents who witnessed the crime in the apartment block outside the city center.
