Man taken to psychiatric institute
The surveillance and intervention platoon of the Saint-Céré Gendarmerie and a negotiator, who came from Figeac, did everything to reason with the forty-year-old, father of three children. Finally, the soldiers managed to get him out around 4:30 p.m., after several hours of intervention.
He was taken to a psychiatric institute. According to our colleagues, the man did not suffer from psychiatric problems. A family conflict could be at the origin of his action. No criminal offense has been recorded, according to the Cahors public prosecutor's office.
