In this attempt to escape, the passenger of the first car was hit. The driver went to the nearby fire station. It was there that the victim was pronounced dead.
According to Rémi Coutin, the shooters used “weapons of different calibers”. The two men attacked were not armed. An autopsy of the victim's body must be carried out at the beginning of the week. This will help establish with what weapons she was killed.
The parquet “seized the research section of the Rouen gendarmerie”, says Rémi Coutin. A flagrant investigation into organized gang murder and attempted organized gang murder has been opened. This Sunday evening, the perpetrators of the shootings have not been identified and are still being sought.
