Students and parents were shocked late Thursday afternoon in Saint-Florent-sur-Auzonnet (Gard). While a couple in the process of separating were arguing over custody of their child in front of the town's primary school, a bladed weapon and a rifle were displayed. Three people were arrested, according to the gendarmerie, which confirms information from Midi Libre.
Around 4:30 p.m., an altercation broke out between the child's father and mother. The father, known to the courts for domestic violence, takes out a knife and threatens his ex-wife. In the mother's car, the grandfather grabbed a 22 long rifle. He shoots in the direction of his ex-stepson.
According to our information, no one was injured and the child, the object of the altercation, did not witness the scene. Unlike other parents of students and little ones. “The scene was apocalyptic, with children, witnesses, panicked parents,” comments Abdelkrim Grini, the public prosecutor of Alès, for Midi Libre. Contacted, the latter has not yet responded to our requests.
Father, mother and grandfather left the scene after the events, the gendarmerie tells us again. They were arrested.
