Clément Follain / 20 Minutes

Sunday afternoon, a man in his thirties was shot and wounded in Hellemmes, a town associated with Lille, we learned from the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service of the North (SDIS).

According to our information, this is a settling of scores after a fight.

The emergency services intervened around 3 p.m. to take charge of a man who had just been shot in the middle of the street, in Hellemmes.

Seriously injured, the victim, aged about thirty, was medicalized on site before being transported to the Lille hospital center.

Revenge after a fight

According to our information, the injured man runs a barber shop in Hellemmes.

A few days before, he had had a quarrel with another man and the altercation had settled with fists.

If we do not know the reasons for this fight, we know that the second individual is from the Lille-Sud district.

It was out of revenge after this altercation that the barber was shot on Sunday.

An investigation was opened to try to find the author of the shooting.
