What is happening at the moment in Drancy?

This Saturday morning, according to information from Actu17 that we were able to confirm, a man was hit by two bullets fired by the passenger of a scooter.

His days would not be in danger.

A few hours earlier, in another district of the city, according to our information, ten people were arrested while they participated, according to a source familiar with the matter, in an armed crowd.

Is there a connection between the two cases?

This is what the police will have to determine.

This Saturday shortly after 8 a.m., a TMax scooter tumbles down rue Roger-Salengro, very close to the fire station.

The passenger, armed with a handgun, fired three times as the vehicle passed by three men seated at a bus stop.

One of them is hit twice.

A thigh injury and another to a finger.

Help arrives quickly on the spot while the attackers have obviously fled.

The silent victim

“The victim was not in serious condition,” assured us Aude Lagarde, the mayor (UDI) of Drancy.

The young man, transported to the Avicenne hospital in Bobigny, was able to be heard by the police but was said to be not very talkative.

The two people who accompanied him fled even before the arrival of the officials.

According to a witness, the surroundings of the town hall were blocked after the shots to allow the police to make statements.

Several casings were found in the area as well as a handkerchief which was allegedly lost by one of the attackers.

A few hours before the shots, at midnight on rue Victor-Schoelcher, a resident called the police when he saw about ten people coming out of a hall of a building, one of whom, according to this local resident, was wearing a handgun and another a stick.

Several police crews rushed to the scene and managed to arrest ten people.

Still according to our information, one of the young people checked was carrying an alarm pistol.

Already in 2020, clashes between bands had left several injured.

The scuffles between districts of the city had lasted several days.

Several dozen young people had been arrested by the police.
