The case dates back to the beginning of the month but continues to make a lot of talk, at the Jean-Zay school in Saint-Nazaire.
According to several media, a child discovered a firearm inside the establishment.
The tragedy was narrowly avoided since the gun found on the ground in the playground of the nursery school was loaded, reports the newspaper
Ouest-France
.
The weapon was immediately turned over to the police.
On Tuesday, a police operation also took place near the school, in the Kerdélé district.
According to
L'Echo de la Presqu'île
, drug trafficking is notably carried out from the hall of a building next to the school group.
The weapon could have been thrown in the yard by someone who wanted to get rid of it, while several burglaries took place in the shopping center of the district, the night before the discovery of the gun.
