Shootings in broad daylight in Montpellier and Nîmes, mortar fire in Strasbourg ... The police are put to the test.


Nimes

The shots slam.

Three figures dressed in black advance weapon in hand, arms outstretched towards a living target which escapes by running… The fugitive will come out injured while more than ten shots are fired.

The scene, which is probably based on a case of settling accounts linked to drug trafficking, takes place early Sunday afternoon in Montpellier (Hérault) in the sensitive district of La Paillade, north of the city.

Confinement requires, fortunately, not many people in the street.

Here too, the track of settling scores is advanced.
