Since the shooting which occurred on the night of Sunday to Monday (November 3 to 4), a heavy and unusual atmosphere has reigned in the ZAC of Rivière-Roche in Fort-de-France.
The city is calm. I don't dare go down. The city is in mourning, calm. A few people are downstairs talking among themselves.
In the early morning, the toll rose. There are now two deaths: a 15-year-old teenager and a 20-year-old young woman.
According to our information, 4 hooded individuals on motorcycles burst into a building and opened fire for reasons, at this time, undetermined.
According to firefighters, 5 people were seriously injured: a 9-month-old baby, a 5-year-old child, three teenagers aged 13, 15 and 16. In total, 27 firefighters were mobilized last night.
A neighbor, who heard the gunshots, cannot understand this act.
We heard several bursts but no more. It must have been 9 p.m. It looked like carnival cars were passing by. In the meantime, we saw the police coming down. There were injuries and one death apparently, we don't really know. The city is very calm, that's what we didn't understand. There were new arrivals. Young people who excel in violence. The landlord puts everyone in the same basket. We didn't expect it at all. It's the first time.
