“An apocalyptic scene”: violence and shooting outside a school in Gard after a conflict between two parents

The events took place this Thursday, November 7, in Saint-Florent-sur-Auzonnet, a commune located north of Alès.

According to Abdelkrim Grini, the public prosecutor at the Alès courthouse, “the scene was apocalyptic, with children, witnesses, panicked parents”. This Thursday, November 7, at the end of classes at the primary school of Saint-Florent-sur Auzonnet, in the Cévennes of Gard, two parents already in conflict wanted their child back. Judicial sources indicate that the man could be the subject of a search warrant for acts of violence committed against the mother.

Mother's injuries not yet known

Between the two parents, the tone rose when picking up the little one. An argument broke out. The man then allegedly took out a knife and attacked the mother. If the head of the Alès public prosecutor's office confirms the acts of violence, the injuries suffered by the mother are not yet known. However, she was taken to the hospital center in the capital of the Cévennes.

The grandfather would have taken out a gun

The maternal grandfather who was in his vehicle, parked a little further away, witnessed the scene of violence between his son-in-law and his daughter. He then allegedly took out a rifle and fired in the direction of the assailant. The projectile lodged itself in the door of the very nearby school…

Police custody and attempted murder

National Education has reportedly deployed a psychological support system to help children and people shocked by this scene of incredible violence. The gendarmes, who quickly arrived on the scene, arrested the father and grandfather. At the beginning of the evening, the public prosecutor indicated that the grandfather had been taken into custody for attempted murder.
