A 20-year-old individual showed up at the artists' entrance to the Accor Arena while Italian singer Laura Pausini was performing. The young man, who asked to "see Booba", then fired 14 times with a handgun at the windows of the concert hall.

The two security guards, although threatened with death by the perpetrator of the shots, managed to make him put away his weapon and arrest him. A switchblade knife, a screwdriver, cannabis resin and 300 euros in cash were found on the suspect.
