A settling of scores
Hospitalized in a state of “absolute emergency” this Sunday, the two other injured are in a stable condition. In addition, two other guests had been more lightly injured. Their vital prognosis is no longer engaged. One had been injured by shards of glass, while a pregnant woman had been taken care of because of her state of shock, specifies The Lorraine Republican. All the victims are from the Messina region.
Responsible for the flagrant investigation, the Metz branch of the judicial police is working under the leadership of the Specialized Interregional Jurisdiction (Jirs) of Nancy in order to clarify the circumstances of this tragedy.
