Four people were slightly injured by bullets on Thursday evening April 20 in Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône), we learned this Friday from concordant sources.
The injured are a sixteen-year-old boy and three adult men, said the city prosecutor's office, adding that the investigation has been entrusted to the judicial police.
The facts occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m. in the Encagnane district, when a masked individual got out of a car and opened fire with an automatic weapon, apparently in the direction of the minor, known for drug cases, who was near a bar, according to a source close to the investigation.
The minor, as well as three consumers of the bar, were slightly affected, according to this source and the relief.
The stolen vehicle was found abandoned.
The bloody shootings, against a background of drug trafficking, have multiplied since the beginning of the year in Marseille, killing 15 people in total, but until then Aix was rather spared by this violence.
