No more doubt, a territorial war is at work east of Nantes. And it's bloody. Last night, a man was shot and injured in the Bottière-Doulon district.
According to our information, the victim, aged 24, claims to have come to get her dose of drugs when she was hit, around 1 a.m., in the knee. She was transported to the university hospital for surgery. His vital prognosis was never in jeopardy.
Two detonations were reported. The shooter reportedly fled in a vehicle.
These shots carry a message
If this is the thirtieth episode of shooting in the Nantes metropolitan area in 2024, it is above all the fifth in a short time in the Bottière district, around the Pin-Sec stadium, a historic point of deal which was not not talk about him until now. It started with a man hit in the lower limbs on September 26. A “legbization” (1) which spreads and carries a clear message.
The fourth use of weapons only dates from Sunday, November 3, around 9 p.m. Two men were reportedly seen on a scooter, rue Urbain-Le-Verrier, when three explosions rang out. 9mm shell casings were picked up from the ground. These shots did not cause any injuries.
The PJ is leading the investigation
Is the pace accelerating to increase the pressure and conquer this sector? The rest will tell. It is investigators from the Organized and Specialized Crime Division (DCOS, the former Judicial Police) who are carrying out investigations in the neighborhood.
(1) “Legging” is when a shooter targets the legs, often in cases related to drug trafficking. A term increasingly used by judicial authorities, and appeared in Italy during the Years of Lead.
