A dispute between young people that takes on completely new proportions.
A 47-year-old man was arrested Wednesday evening after firing a rifle into the air to scare people away, in front of his home in Bougival (Yvelines).
Several people showed up on site with the aim of fighting with his son, after an argument lasting several weeks, the reason for which was not specified.
It is around 6 p.m. when the small group arrives at rue du Général-Leclerc, a shopping street lined with townhouses.
The father comes out for the first time armed with at least one knife and a tear gas canister.
Then he returned to his home to seize a gun, which a witness identified as a rifle.
The weapon was not found
He fires a single shot into the air, which is enough to put the gang to flight.
Neighbors, worried, immediately called the police and staff from the ferry quickly went to the scene.
A search was carried out at the family home but did not find the long weapon, a police source told us this Thursday.
However, two tear gas canisters were seized.
