“I heard a burst of gunfire,” says a local resident. I immediately understood that it was not mortar fire. I told myself that it was probably a settling of scores. When I saw that there was emergency services, I understood that someone had probably died. It’s been ten or fifteen years since we’ve experienced such a tragedy. It is a quiet neighborhood here. »
