They were refused entry by the hospital security service and the police were called at the request of medical staff, the source said. The wounded "told us that he had done this all alone by handling a weapon," said the Ajaccio prosecution.
The young man, already convicted in particular for acts of violence and drug trafficking, said he drank a large amount of alcohol, while having a very low blood alcohol level. He said he did not remember the type of weapon used to injure his right hand, according to a source close to the investigation.
Authorities' research has shown that the young man was part of the entourage of the man who was shot on June 7 on the terrace of a brewery on the outskirts of Ajaccio while a second was killed during of this settlement of account perpetrated by a helmeted shooter who fled. The two injured were convicted in the same extortion case, the source said.
