A bloody night.
In Marseille, three men lost their lives in probable settling of scores on the night from Saturday to Sunday, we learned from a source close to the investigation.
At around midnight, two men aged 25 and 26 were killed by several bullets in the city of La Marine Bleue, in the 14th arrondissement.
9mm and assault rifle calibers were found in this poor area of Marseille.
According to several witnesses, people arrived by car and shot the two men.
The same night, other gunshots broke out in the 4th arrondissement.
Witnesses called the police to tell them that a person had been forcibly taken in a vehicle.
This car was found burning later that night in the 13th arrondissement.

A teenager killed a few days ago
Like the first two victims, this man was known to the courts for drug trafficking.
"It is not impossible that these two events are linked," said a source close to the investigation.
"If it is too early to determine the motivations of the perpetrators of this act, this new episode of violence does not undermine the determination of the State services to fight relentlessly against trafficking and the circulation of arms and to put all the means to find the perpetrators of these homicides ”, reacted to AFP the prefect of police, Frédérique Camilleri.
A few days ago, a 14-year-old teenager was shot dead in a city in the 14th arrondissement of Marseille.
