“ This is completely crazy ! Where are we going ? “, asks a merchant on rue de l’Alma in Roubaix on Saturday morning, who does not want to say more about the shooting which broke out a few meters from his store. In the neighborhood, the contrast is striking, the street is almost deserted the day after the tragedy. The tension has subsided, but no one wants to talk.
Seven bullets were fired
The day before, a little before 8 p.m., a 22-year-old young man was shot and injured. Known to the police, he was walking on the sidewalk when a car drove up to him. One of its occupants then fired seven bullets. Four hit the young man. First, the Roubaix municipal police arrived to help him.
According to our information, she had to face very strong hostility from several residents of the neighborhood. The national police arrived shortly after, as well as the SMUR, which took care of the injured person with the help of the firefighters before the latter was transported to hospital, escorted by the police. An investigation has been opened for attempted murder by an organized gang, according to our colleagues from France Bleu Nord.
