A shopping center evacuated in Isère: the “weapon” was a water gun. The owner of the toy, an 18-year-old young man, was taken into custody for armed violence.

The alert was given late Tuesday afternoon following a "report sufficiently worrying to deploy law enforcement", according to the Isère prefecture. Customers and staff present in this outlet shopping center were evacuated "peacefully", the prefecture said. The Villefontaine brand village, located near Lyon along the A43 motorway, is made up of more than a hundred shops.
