On the night of November 18th, 2023, 300 to 400 young people gathered in the village hall of Crépol, a small settlement in the department of Drôme, France for a dance party.
But what began like an evening of carefree fun soon turned into a nightmare. As we reported at the time, a gang of individuals broke into the party and spread terror by attacking the participants with knives. A youngster of 16, Thomas, a member of the local rugby club, died of a stab wound during his transfer to a hospital in Lyon. Two others were severely wounded, and more than a dozen other people suffered various degrees of injuries during the rampage, including the bouncer who had his fingers cut off.
