Six people were wounded by gunfire Tuesday evening in the Polygone district of Valence. The victims, five men and one woman aged 15 to 22, were gathered in a group when the shooting began around 22:30 p.m.
According to initial findings of the investigation, a car pulled up beside them before one or more occupants opened fire with an assault rifle. The vehicle then reportedly sped away. Of the six wounded, two are in serious condition, and one is in critical condition.
A burned-out vehicle was found nearby
A burned-out vehicle, possibly the one used in the attack, was discovered a few kilometers away. Investigators will need to conduct forensic examinations to determine its potential involvement and try to find evidence that could identify the shooters.
The motive for the shooting remains unknown. The investigation will need to determine whether the victims were specifically targeted and if the attack is linked to a settling of scores. No suspects have been apprehended yet.
