Another person shot dead in Marseille.
The drama occurred on the night of Wednesday to Thursday in the 3rd arrondissement of Marseille, one of the poorest districts of the city.
According to France Bleu Provence, several shots were fired in two different streets.
AFP reports that a man entered a bar in the Belle de Mai district around 3:15 a.m. and shot a person.
Despite the rapid arrival of help, the victim succumbed to his injuries.
A few minutes later, a second shot rang out a few hundred yards away.
Two men on a scooter arrived and reportedly shot a man in the street.
The latter was seriously injured, a judicial source told AFP.
He is currently hospitalized in serious condition.
According to La Provence, the vital prognosis of this man remains engaged for the moment.
The circumstances of the shooting still unclear
For the moment, it is impossible to give the exact reasons for this tragedy. Fingerprints were taken by the technical and scientific police and the investigations were entrusted to the judicial police, said the police headquarters. A little over a week ago, the Belle de Mai district had already been the scene of a tragedy. A traffic check had skidded and a 19-year-old man was shot dead by a police officer. Wednesday, a white march was organized to ask for the "truth" about the death of the young man. About 300 people were present.
