A 16-year-old girl was indicted for an "assassination attempt" and imprisoned in Agen on Friday after a knife attack on another adolescent girl, after a white march in tribute to a young man shot dead last Sunday.

The altercation took place at Agen train station late Wednesday afternoon. The indictment had stabbed a 15-year-old girl in the chest with whom she reproached inappropriate comments during the white march. The victim had been hospitalized in absolute emergency with an affected lung. Out of danger, she is completely incapacitated for six days.

The alleged shooter, a minor, fled with his scooter, but was arrested a few hours later. He was charged with murder and attempted murder and placed in detention. According to the prosecution, he invoked "a context of threats of which he has been the victim for several weeks" from the young people he fired on. A second minor placed in police custody was put out of the question.
