Minister says ‘choice is between general mobilisation or Mexicanisation of the country’ after gunfight leaves teenager fighting for life
France has reached a “tipping point” on drug-related violence, the country’s hardline interior minister warned on Friday, after hundreds of people took part in a massive shoot-out.
The gunfight, which left a teenager fighting for his life and four others seriously wounded, erupted overnight in the western city of Poitiers.
Police intervened at around 10.45pm after shots were fired outside a restaurant in the Couronneries district of the city and found the first casualty on the ground.
From Fdesouche – Poitiers (86): five injured in a shooting. Hundreds of people involved, a 15-year-old boy hit in the head. It is believed to be an inter-ethnic brawl between West Indians and North Africans against a backdrop of drug trafficking.
