Settling of scores at the foot of the Descartes tower?

During the night from Friday to Saturday, a man in his twenties was urgently transferred to Henri-Mondor hospital, in Créteil, (Val-de-Marne) after being shot in Creil.

An investigation was opened for attempted homicide, confirms the Senlis prosecutor's office, which however did not wish to speak further.

The investigations to find the author of the shooting were entrusted to the judicial police.

The events took place around 3 a.m. at the rue Henri-Bergson, in the Cavées district, where residents reported a crowd of about twenty people.

According to testimonies collected on the spot, some of them were armed with iron bars and a firearm was allegedly displayed.

“But when we arrived, everyone was gone,” slips a policeman.

The injured person dropped off by a friend at Creil hospital

On the spot, the police noted the presence of a bloodstain on the ground.

At the same time, a man is dropped off by a friend at Creil hospital.

Seriously injured in the femoral artery, he was placed in a coma and then taken to Créteil where he was operated on Saturday morning.

In 2006, two young people were also shot dead in front of the Descartes tower, on the very spot where the gunshots were heard last weekend.
