A restaurant was attacked with a gun in Poitiers on Thursday October 31 in the evening around 10 p.m., and this shooting “ended in a fight [sic] between rival bands (…) with all kinds of weapons”declared Friday the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, who was informed of this ” event ” this night. The minister added on BFM-TV/RMC that between “400 and 600 people” would be involved, according to a report from the prefect, without knowing precisely whether this estimate includes possible spectators.
Five people are seriously injured, including a 15-year-old minor, who is between life and death, according to a police source.
“It started with a shooting at a restaurant and ended with a brawl between rival gangs which involved several hundred people. I am told of 4 to 600 people, according to the prefect’s report”detailed Bruno Retailleau.
“We must not discover the problem”declared Mr. Retailleau, who considered that these shots were “linked to drug trafficking”. “It’s about settling scores”he continued. The minister estimated that we were “at a tipping point”while he must go to Rennes where a 5-year-old child is between life and death after being shot in the head last Saturday, as part of a settling of scores linked to drug trafficking.
