Wake up with a start, the night of Monday to Tuesday, around 3 a.m.
The tenants of the large tower at 43, rue Gabriel-Péri, in Pré Saint-Gervais (Seine-Saint-Denis) were noisily awakened from their sleep by a burst of firearms.
“Ten 9 mm caliber bullet holes were noted in the door of an apartment and six 9 mm caliber cartridge cases were discovered on the ground,” indicates a source close to the investigation.
An outburst of violence which sounds like a warning to its occupants.
In the apartment a mother, one of her young sons and her daughter were sleeping peacefully.
However, according to the first elements of the investigation, this would not be a mistake.
In this accommodation, until a few months ago, lived two brothers, Galadio and Modibo T., both currently detained for drug trafficking.
One of them would be, according to a police source, “the manager of a local deal point”.
In this case, it would be the drugs point at Place Séverine.
One of the addresses listed for cannabis trafficking in Pré-Saint-Gervais.
Two hooded men seen
After this event, Laurent Baron, PS mayor, said he was “concerned for the future”.
“It’s unheard of at Le Pré and in the Gabriel-Péri city.
And these are things that we do not want to see again,” says the councilor who fears a return match.
Seine-Saint-Denis Habitat, the lessor, did not wish to react following these acts committed within its assets.
Nearly 150 families live in this tower.

It remains to be seen how to interpret this warning shot.
The investigation was entrusted to the departmental judicial police service of 93. The hypothesis of an attempt to take over the deal point at Place Séverine remains to be verified.
All eyes are turning in particular towards Pantin.
Unless the warning is addressed to a third brother, not detained, and better known by his nickname “Kalash”?
The perpetrators of the shootings are actively being sought.
Witnesses said they saw two hooded individuals fleeing in the common areas after the detonations.
