TOULOUSE, France (AP) — France’s president is asking the nation’s children to honor those killed in a shooting in a Jewish school and warning that it could have happened anywhere.

Schools across France held a moment of silence Tuesday to honor the three children and a rabbi killed in Monday’s attack in the southern city of Toulouse.

Nicolas Sarkozy, visiting a junior high school in Paris, said the children killed “are exactly like you.” He said the attack “could have happened here.”

The killer, also suspected in the deaths of three paratroopers last week, is still at large.

Sarkozy said authorities “will do everything to stop him.”
