Woman Critically Wounded in New Shooting in Avignon’s Monclar District

Investigators have not linked the attack to the fatal shooting in the area ten days earlier.

Overview

  • Gunfire erupted early Saturday afternoon on or near rue Bertrand de Nogayrol, where multiple people reported being targeted.
  • Several individuals went to Avignon’s Henri Duffaut hospital on their own, and doctors said the woman arrived with life‑threatening injuries.
  • Police were alerted by emergency dispatchers after the hospital arrivals, and firefighters did not attend the scene because victims self‑transported.
  • Witnesses told officers a person on a black scooter fired several shots before fleeing, and no arrests had been made as the search continued.
  • The shooting occurred close to where a 32‑year‑old man was killed during the night of March 6–7, though authorities have not established any connection between the incidents.
