France shooting: Urgent manhunt for three gunmen after explosions and shots heard in Nimes - at least six injured with one person fighting for their life
At least one person has been left fighting for their life and five others have been injured after a shooting in France. The horror attack unfolded at around 7pm on Friday evening in Nimes, near Avignon. Six people were rushed to hospital with bullet wounds and one remains in a serious condition. An investigation for attempted murder has been launched by the French authorities, according to The Mirror. As of the early hours of Saturday morning, no arrests had been made - and it is believed that the suspects are still on the run. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and explosions in the Pissevin district - an area in south-west Nimes which is known for drug crime. One woman told French media: 'My sister called me as I was coming home from work. 'She told me not to go home, there were shots right in front of my building. At first, we thought they were firecrackers...' French authorities said in a statement: 'A shooting took place this evening resulting in several injuries. Investigations are underway.' The country's riot police were called in to help deal with the shooting, it has been reported. The Pissevin district of Nimes has been marked by a series of tragic shootings. In August 2023, a 10-year-old child was killed by a stray bullet, and in February last year another person was killed near a drug dealing point.
