A shooting broke out during the night from Thursday to Friday in front of a restaurant in Poitiers (west of France) during which five people were seriously injured, announced the French Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau, who linked these shootings to drug trafficking. Among the victims is a 15-year-old teenager, who is between life and death, according to a police source.
The Minister of the Interior added on BFMTV/RMC that “several hundred people“had witnessed or participated in this shooting. The events took place in the Couronneries district, said the prefect of Vienne in a message posted on the social network X. Reinforcements will be”deployed” Friday, wrote the prefect.
“It started with a shooting at a restaurant and ended with a brawl between rival gangs that involved several hundred people. I am told of 4 to 600 people, according to the prefect’s report“, detailed Bruno Retailleau.
The minister estimated that we were “at a tipping point“, while he has to go to Rennes, in Brittany, where a five-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.
