Trappes: a man targeted with a shotgun, his vital prognosis compromised

His visit to the neighborhood turned into a settling of scores. A 24-year-old man is between life and death this Friday after being targeted by gunfire in the night at the foot of a building in Trappes (Yvelines), we learned from a police source.

It was around 4 a.m. when the police received a call from a young man saying he had been shot while visiting a friend on rue Victor-Jara, in the Plaine-de- Neauphle. According to the description given by the victim to the police, four individuals fired at him, including one with a shotgun.

When they arrived on site, Bac officials provided first aid while waiting for the firefighters and ambulance, the man being seriously injured in the thigh. The premises were then secured to allow the intervention of the scientific police, in particular.

Originally from Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), the victim was transported to the Pompidou hospital in Paris (15th century) with a vital prognosis. These facts come against a backdrop of an increase in settling of scores in France in recent years.
