The Bouches-du-Rhône firefighters intervened at 9:34 p.m. precisely, this Saturday, November 9, 2024 in Martigues, in the Notre-Dame des Marins district.
A man is injured, stranded in a convenience store. Upon arriving, the emergency services noticed that there were two grenades (demilitarized, according to the police to AFP), at the entrance to the store. They therefore first extracted them before rescuing the 20-year-old man, who was seriously injured in the abdomen.
This man, known for his criminal record according to a police source to our AFP colleagues, died in hospital.
In the same evening, another man went to the hospital on his own, also for an injury caused by a gun to his hand, firefighters told France 3 Provence-Alpes.
These two men were targeted by three car shooters in a working-class area of the city, police told AFP. The latter fled and a car was discovered a few kilometers from the scene of the incident.
The investigation is entrusted to the Organized and Specialized Crime Division (DCOS). On October 29, a 34-year-old man, known for cases linked to drug trafficking, was also shot dead in Martigues near a shopping center.
