This Monday morning, a police officer is in custody in Bayonne, after a shooting at a driver who lost her life.

According to information from our colleagues in Europe 1, confirmed to the Parisian by a police source, around 1 a.m., the latter participated in a police check that went wrong in Bayonne.

On the night of Sunday to Monday, officials observed a car that was moving "erratically", according to this police source.

The person behind the wheel then refuses to respond to the orders of the police asking him to stop.

Two open legal proceedings

The vehicle finally stops a little later, but as they approach it, the driver starts again, hitting one of the police officers in the knee.

It was then that one of his colleagues fired his service weapon "in the direction of the vehicle", relates the police source.

The woman inside was shot and died shortly after being taken to hospital.

It was a 37-year-old driver, already known to the police for hit-and-run, death threats and theft.

This Monday, two legal proceedings were opened, one relating to the facts of "attempted homicide on a person holding public authority", after the police officer was struck in the knee, entrusted to the judicial police of Bayonne and another, targeting his colleague who fired the shot, for “homicide by a person holding public authority”, of which the judicial police and the IGPN (general inspection of the police of the police) were jointly seized.

These two services will have to question the police officer, currently in custody.
