FABRICE ELSNER / 20MINUTES

The evening of Thursday was again agitated in Dervallières.

Shortly after 10 p.m., several shots rang out in this popular district of Nantes.

According to the police, the shootings took place on rue Georges-de-la-Tour, a few hundred meters from the shooting that killed a young man of 15, earlier this week.

This time, no injuries were to be deplored, but a bullet hole was indeed discovered in a wall of a building hall, after having passed through the glass of the entrance door to this hall.

Witnesses told investigators to have seen "a black scooter ridden by two hooded individuals".

"Hostile group"

The police also reported a tense face-to-face between residents and the police, which occurred a little earlier in the day, in the same neighborhood.

Several police officers, who were checking a vehicle, were attacked by "a hostile group".

Projectiles were fired at the officials, who used tear gas and a de-encircling grenade.
