All-out battle, this Thursday afternoon, in Montataire.
A little before 4 p.m., the fire brigade received a call for a man threatening to end his life in a building on rue Louis-Blanc.
When they arrive, the emergency services find themselves in front of a closed door.
The individual does not want to go out and obviously does not seem to want to let things go.
They then try to start a dialogue with him to try to calm the situation.
According to a police source, another difficulty arises.
The resident has a dog, just as recalcitrant as he is.
The animal is threatening and does not let it go.
The beast was finally able to be subdued and captured after a certain period of time.
It is then, on entering, that the firefighters discover that the master is a firearms enthusiast of all kinds.
He has a fine collection of them in his apartment.

The Creil police station is then notified.
The police arrive when the firefighters extract the man from his accommodation, without a hitch.
The building where he lives was not evacuated but the intervention did not go unnoticed.
The man, a 62-year-old former soldier, was not ultimately suicidal, but would nevertheless suffer from psychological disorders.
He was taken into custody and his undeclared weapons were confiscated.
In his arsenal were, in particular "a long weapon, handguns and airsoft weapons, among others", indicates a policeman.
The man will be
at least
prosecuted for illegal possession of weapons.
