Overview
- The attack in the Lambézellec district, which erupted Sunday afternoon, involved masked gunmen firing in a residential area and hitting a 25-year-old believed to be the target and a girl inside her home.
- Doctors say both victims are in the hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries, and the 14‑year‑old was operated on and reported stable.
- Police recovered a Kalashnikov‑style rifle that fell when suspects ditched an electric scooter, and officers arrested one person a few hundred meters away.
- Prosecutors opened a flagrance inquiry for attempted voluntary homicide, led by Brest police’s DCOS, a unit that investigates organized and specialized crime.
- About fifty CRS riot police have been deployed to secure the neighborhood for several days, as residents describe more frequent gunfire linked by locals and police to drug trafficking.
