Tuesday June 25, a 20-year-old young man was hospitalized in Carcassonne after being shot twice in an apartment in Pont Vieux. Initially, the victim told police that the shooter had fled. According to the prosecution, he shot himself unintentionally and no other person is associated with this case.
At 1:42 p.m., Tuesday June 25, the police and emergency services were dispatched to rue du Pont Vieux in Carcassonne. A young man aged 20 claims to have been shot by a man presented as fleeing in an apartment on the artery leading to the Medieval City. A team of emergency workers from Smur 11, firefighters from the Carcassonne rescue center, took care of the victim suffering from two small caliber bullets in a calf and a thigh. His life was not in danger. The perpetrator was then actively sought. A “proceedings for attempted murder were opened, and the investigation was entrusted to the judicial police (PJ)”, explained the Carcassonne prosecutor, Géraldine Labialle. But this Wednesday, June 26, the case took another turn. According to the prosecution, the victim affirmed that there was no individual on the run but that she had involuntarily shot herself with a weapon. As a result, he lied to the police who froze the premises and carried out a neighborhood investigation on the day of the shooting. young man is currently in police custody (Photo Claude Boyer)
