A GIGN gendarme tried for unintentionally killing a young man with a bullet to the back of the head. Alexandre B., group leader of a unit at the GIGN in Reims, is being prosecuted in Saint-Omer.
He is the author of a fatal shot in the neck of Henri Lenfant, aged 22, during an arrest on September 21, 2018. “I acted. I made my shot. But my wish was not to kill the person but to save my life,” he regretted.
