A policewoman was seriously injured on Thursday at the Dunkirk police station, attempting to commit suicide by shooting herself in the chest, we learned from a police source and union sources.
At the end of the morning, the doctors wanted to be reassuring.
According to them, his vital prognosis was no longer engaged, according to information from La Voix du Nord.
The official acted in the locker room of the police station, around 7:30 a.m., the police source said.
Immediately, his colleagues rushed to help him, making compression points to limit the bleeding, says the regional daily.
She was transported to the regional hospital center of Lille, "without vital prognosis committed a priori".
According to a union source, she had "called the station" to say that she was going to "put a bullet" and "she fired".
Harassment situation
A second union source revealed that she had alerted the DDSP (Departmental Directorate of Public Security) by mail to a situation of moral harassment at work of which she considered herself a victim.
An administrative investigation was immediately opened.
“She is a fragile colleague,” said this source.
“But there is a link in the chain which is failing” at the Dunkirk police station, she added, specifying that other colleagues were “really in pain”.
