Overview
- La Poste suspended mail and parcel rounds on parts of boulevard Joliot-Curie in Vénissieux, saying it cannot guarantee carrier safety after recent shootings.
- Residents in the affected buildings must now pick up items at the central Vénissieux post office until home delivery can resume safely.
- The Rhône prefecture deployed about 60 extra police officers to the area to lower tensions as investigations into the gunfire continue.
- Officials link the violence to fights over drug-selling spots, with widely shared video showing masked men firing in broad daylight and reports of injuries but no deaths.
- City leaders, La Poste, and police have met to map a safe return to normal service, while unions and residents describe relief for workers but frustration over losing a basic service.
