The game of pétanque was cut short last Saturday in the Juncasse-Argoulets district in Toulouse.
A group of young people were playing on a bowling alley when they saw a local resident in a wheelchair.
Exasperated by the noise, the man threatened them with a knife.
The young people decided to defend themselves by throwing gravel on him, according to a police source.
The man left for his home, before reappearing, but this time with a small caliber pistol in his hand.
And he did not only threaten the young bowlers, he also shot in the air.
Arrived on the spot, the members of the specialized field brigade discovered the weapon left on the bowling alley.
And during the search of the alleged assailant, they found 700 cartridges.
He admitted to the police having fired in the air, indicating that he was outraged by the noise.
Placed in custody, the forty-something was to be a judge in immediate appearance.
