An individual opened fire and killed a woman in front of a sports hall in a town in Gard this Saturday, before going inside and targeting a man. He then ended his life.
Three people died killed by firearms this Saturday in the town of Saint-Dionisy in the Gard, we learned from the gendarmerie, confirming information from Free lunch.
According to our information, a man first opened fire on a woman in front of a sports hall before going inside and targeting a man. He then emerged from the scene and turned the gun on himself.
One of the hypotheses considered by the gendarmes, which has yet to be confirmed, is that of “revenge against the backdrop of a romantic dispute”. According to our colleagues from Free lunchthe alleged perpetrator shot his wife and her supposed lover before turning his gun on himself.
The gendarmes have deployed an important device to secure the premises and the prefecture has set up a psycho-medical emergency cell.
