MARSEILLE: A woman and a man, both in their twenties, were killed in a shooting late on Saturday in French Mediterranean city Marseille and three others hurt, prosecutors told AFP.

“The five people were in their car in the car park of a McDonald´s when a vehicle pulled up alongside, killing the 22-year-old male driver and the 25-year old female front passenger with bursts of fire from a Kalashnikov” assault rifle, the city´s chief prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said on Sunday. Of the three wounded passengers in the rear -- two men and one woman -- two were seriously hurt, they added.
