Three men were wounded by gunfire Sunday night in Brest, after similar events occurred in late August in the same neighborhood in what looks like a clash between rival gangs. Two men were injured in the lower back for one and on the shoulder and thorax for the other, while they were in a car parked in front of a building in the Kerourien neighborhood, told the AFP the prosecutor of the Republic of Brest Jean-Philippe Recapped. Both are unfamiliar with the police, he said, adding that their days were not in danger.
Two men injured with guns in the same neighborhood at the end of August
Another man, unknown to the police, was wounded by hand. He was not in the car, according to the same source. On August 27, two men were wounded in the legs with guns in the same neighborhood. Four persons had been placed in police custody: three had been released under judicial supervision and the fourth had been placed in pre-trial detention. Jean-Philippe Recapé had then estimated "probable" that the shots were fired during "a fight on the bottom of a settlement between rival gangs".
