Last May, two young men aged 21 and 22 were shot and wounded at the foot of a building on rue Victor-Hugo, in the Villaine district of Massy.
One had been hit in the thigh, the other in the ankle.
The day after the incident, the police intervened with a young man who was stabbed in the arm, abdomen and flank in the neighboring town of Igny.
This young man was a relative of the young people attacked the day before in Massy.
