Two damaged vehicles
The fifty-year-old succumbed to his injuries despite receiving emergency services. On site, two vehicles were found damaged and a security perimeter has been in place since around 2:30 p.m. Several witnesses warned the police after hearing gunshots in the street.
In Lorscourt, there is total confusion among residents who do not understand why they cannot go to the butcher or tobacco shop located within the perimeter of the shooting. And for those who cannot return home. Even the traders are escorted by the police. Everyone remains calm, which contrasts with the violence of the scene.
The public prosecutor of Montbéliard, Paul-Édouard Lallois, is present on site with the police commissioner of Montbéliard, Paul Mangin.
