- Prosecutors in Marseille charged two men and a woman Monday in the daylight shooting in Nice that killed two people and wounded six, and a judge ordered them held before trial.
- Investigators say the attack struck bystanders in a rivalry between trafficking teams in Nice, and the arrests stopped a second planned hit as the city opened a new municipal police post on Place des Amaryllis.
- In the Lyon area, a 1,000‑officer sweep Tuesday set about 200 targeted checks and produced roughly 15 arrests by midday after a separate Monday night shooting left three people badly hurt.
- Also in Lyon Tuesday, the children’s court began trying six teens over a string of assaults and robberies that included the filmed beating of a young man named Théo in January.
- Paris prosecutors said Wednesday they had 16 people from the Saint‑Dominique public preschool in custody in a separate probe into alleged physical and sexual violence in out‑of‑class care, widening scrutiny of child protection.
