Two young men were found dead Monday, May 15, a priori killed by firearm, in a house in Tagolsheim (Haut-Rhin), we learned from the mayor, confirming information from the regional daily Les Dernières nouvelles d'Alsace (DNA). Asked by AFP, the public prosecutor in Mulhouse Edwige Roux-Morizot did not respond. The two men, aged "about twenty years", were found dead "in one of the two", told AFP Hervé Wermuth, mayor of this town of a thousand inhabitants, south of Mulhouse, and also chief of the local fire brigade. Emergency services were notified shortly before 17 p.m., according to Hervé Wermuth.
The parents of one of the two young people, who were then present on the ground floor of the house where the tragedy took place, are "in shock", said the elected official. He had no elements Monday night on the circumstances of the drama, for the moment still unclear. According to residents quoted by the DNA, the young man who lived in this house was a volunteer deputy gendarme, information that Hervé Wermuth could not confirm.
