Paris: seriously injured by bullet in the 18th arrondissement

The affair looks like a settling of accounts. At the end of the day Monday, a man was targeted by three armed attackers who fled by car after firing on him. The victim, affected in the chest, was rushed to the Pitié-Salpétrière hospital. Her days would not be in danger.

The witnesses note the registration

The facts took place around 7 p.m., in the rue de Clignancourt, north of the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Several witnesses saw the scene and immediately alerted the police. With a very useful precision: the registration of the Clio in which the fugitives have disappeared.

The car is registered in the name of a resident of Bagnolet (Seine-Saint-Denis). A patrol from the 20th century anti-crime brigade, which receives the generalized call, decides to go to its address, near the Porte de Bagnolet ... and comes face to face with the suspicious Clio who is arriving.

Hood and weapon found in the car

Its driver and two passengers, all in their twenties, were immediately arrested without difficulty. In a bag at the back of the car, the police found a bag containing a hood and a 9mm firearm, with the empty magazine and serial number erased.

The three suspects were brought back to the police station in the rue de la Goutte d'Or where they were placed in police custody. They would have recognized having gone in the 18th century but without more details. Their victim has yet to be heard by investigators. The rest of the case was entrusted to the PJ.
