The photo is striking: a man in a camouflage parka, cap pulled down to his eyes, faces the Caisse d'Épargne ATMs, holding an AK-47 (Kalashnikov) type weapon whose barrel is pointed towards the ground .
The scene is located on avenue Henri-Barbusse, at the corner of rue Anatole-France, in the center of Villeurbanne, and the image, posted this Wednesday, November 6 on X, is going viral.

No reporting to the police
Although spectacular, this photo raises several questions, currently unanswered. When and by whom was it taken? Who is the man, is his weapon real or fake, and why is he there?
The presence of an armed man in the city does not go unnoticed. However, the Interdepartmental Directorate of the National Police (DIPN) has not received a report, and no offense involving an individual armed with an AK-47 has been recorded in recent days in the neighborhood.
Research is underway to authenticate the image and clarify its context.
