He received a bullet from another soldier who, like him, guarded the palace of the governor of Metz (Moselle). On Wednesday evening, a soldier in his twenties was transferred to the central hospital in Nancy and was in a "desperate state" on Wednesday evening, said a source close to the investigation.

Still according to the latter, the accidental track is privileged: "The track of an accident probably due to an error in the handling of a weapon is privileged". The perpetrator, also in his twenties, was placed in police custody and the judicial police seized.

These soldiers belong to an artillery regiment of the Marne assigned to guard the palace of the military governor of Metz for a fortnight, according to this source.
