As if nothing had happened, the city Cordon, in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis), found its habits this Tuesday morning.

The lookouts take their post shortly before noon, the inhabitants come home from work for lunch.

The traces of the settling of accounts from the previous evening have completely disappeared.

At around 8:30 p.m., a 25-year-old man from Saint-Denis was shot down.

Wounded in the abdomen, his life is no longer in danger.

His prognosis was critical, but the bullet did not hit any vital organs.

Two 9-millimeter cases were found by investigators from the judicial police.

Surveillance cameras noticed three individuals fleeing.

Was it the shooters or the people present on this point of the deal who got scared?

The investigation has only just begun and for the time being, the injured person has not yet been heard.

He would be considered one of those responsible for ensuring the safety of the “oven”.

Saint-Ouen, this Tuesday.

With graffiti, the dealers mark their territory in the common parts of the buildings of the city.

(the first name has been changed)

already has his own idea of ​​where the authors of the shots came from: “It's the Boute-en-Train who want to take over the field.

It's just a question of territory.

In this, he agrees with the hypotheses of the police who also lean towards a show of force of this competing city of Saint-Ouen, located on the edge of the fleas and all-powerful in drug trafficking.

Cordon is a very coveted “land”.

Located behind the ice rink, not far from the Mairie-de-Saint-Ouen metro station and the new line 14, it whets the appetites of rival teams.

On January 3, already, at the foot of these same buildings, Kevin, 26, was struck to death with a studded baseball bat.

Four suspects have since been arrested and remanded in custody.

"I go home quietly and I risk taking a bullet"

After two settling of scores in the space of a month and a half, Hakim let go: “It is the drug dealers who impose their law on us.

"In the stairwells, hastily drawn graffiti announces that the traffic here is" at Lar Lar Express from 11 am to midnight ".

The walls of the common areas are also covered with signatures.

"They are little ones, when they come to work here, they write their nickname in the stairwell," explains Hakim, who plagues every time he pushes the door of the entrance hall: "It's been five years since 'it is broken as well as the intercom, but the Semiso

The common areas are to match, the broken windows remain so and when a tenant gives his leave, the entrance doors are replaced by strong anti-intrusion iron models to prevent the apartments from being squatted.

Like Mariam, a cross at the entrance to the city, Cordon's tenants dream of "escaping from here".

The mother, who has lived there for 12 years, admits to being scared because the shooting on Monday night happened when she was coming home from work.

"I go home quietly and I risk taking a bullet, she fears.

It's unfortunate to say, but we got used to traffic.

It's a bit of second nature.

What to do about all of this.

Have we tried everything.

Whose fault is it?

Young people?

Of the government ?
