The French anti-terrorism prosecution office said the case file contains no other support for a considered plan of violence against four public figures associated with the political left.

The office said investigators found a sticky note bearing the four figures' names and phone numbers when they searched Kevin T's home. At 39, Kevin T is being investigated for suspected murder and attempted murder in a case involving a terrorist enterprise.

Kevin T told investigators he obtained the numbers from a site that publishes leaked information and denied having a plan involving the people listed, the office said. BFM TV reported that people affiliated with France Unbowed and the Green parties appeared on the list.

One person died, and five were injured in the shooting. Prosecutors previously said the victims were targeted because of their actual or supposed membership in a racial, ethnic, national or religious group, a factor French law treats as aggravating.
