A gunman has shot and wounded four people close to a school in the French Pacific island territory of New Caledonia.
Police arrested the man shortly after the apparent random shooting in Kamere, a district north of the capital Noumea.
All four victims - two adults and two minors - were rushed to hospital with wounds to the head, legs and thighs, a national police spokesman said. One of them was in critical condition.
The suspect, who was known to police prior to the incident, was taken to a police station in Noumea.
