A shooting broke out on Saturday morning in Grenoble.

“Four individuals traveling in an Audi vehicle attacked a bar in the Saint-Bruno district by shooting in front of the establishment,” said Grenoble prosecutor Eric Vaillant in a press release.

The thugs then fled in their car, which was stolen, engaging in a chase with the police to the Arlequin district where they stopped.

The suspects then fled "but one of them would have at some point turned against the police who were pursuing him" and "would have targeted them with his Kalashnikov", continues the prosecutor.

“The police would then have shot him three times, wounding him in the shoulder”.

The suspect was transferred to the hospital and his vital prognosis is not engaged.

“He would have been born in 1988 and very well known to the justice system, in particular for theft, concealment and possession of narcotics”, specifies the press release.

Two investigations opened, one of which by the IGPN

Two investigations were subsequently opened.

The first under the aegis of the Grenoble judicial police for "assassination attempts by an organized gang" against the perpetrators of the shooting at the bar as well as for "attempted murder of persons holding public authority" in against the individual with the Kalashnikov.

The second investigation was entrusted to the IGPN of Lyon and relates to "the violence committed by the police with their service weapons against the injured", indicates Eric Vaillant.
