A drama took place this Tuesday evening, shortly before 10 p.m., in the small town of Lempdes (Puy-de-Dôme).
A 20-year-old woman was killed by gunfire, according to RMC, which reveals the information.
According to our colleagues, the victim's companion was arrested.
The police were alerted by witnesses who claimed to have seen a man leaving an apartment with a long gun in his hands.
When police arrived, three suspects fled.
One of them got rid of the rifle before being caught.
The police were also able to get their hands on the weapon.
No known domestic violence
The young man, aged 20, would have admitted to having shot his companion.
The police therefore went to the apartment where they discovered the victim, who was already deceased.
The suspect was taken into custody.
An investigation has been opened.
According to the first elements, the couple was not known for acts of domestic violence.
An autopsy should be performed during the day, specifies France Bleu Pays d'Auvergne.
