BBC: Attackers in France tried to set fire to the home of a suburban Paris mayor's home overnight and fired rockets at the official's fleeing wife and children.
The incident has caused widespread shock and is being treated as attempted murder. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne described it as intolerable.
Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun was not at home, but his wife suffered a broken leg and a child was also hurt.
France has seen violent protests after police killed a teenager on Tuesday.
The suspects in the incident in L'Haÿ-les-Roses, south of Paris, have not been identified.
