A 17-year-old young man and his 41-year-old father were seriously injured Monday evening in a double shooting in Villefontaine, in the north of Isère, firefighters said on Tuesday.

The teenager was hit by a bullet in the chest, and his father by two bullets, in the chest and back, said the firefighters, confirming information from the regional daily

Le Dauphiné Libéré

.

Called shortly before 10 p.m., the emergency services evacuated the two injured in absolute urgency to the Edouard Herriot hospital in Lyon.

"When help arrived, the shooter had fled," added the Isère firefighters.

The file does not have "the profile of an account settlement"

The Vienna prosecutor's office has entrusted the investigations to the gendarmes of the Grenoble Research Section (SR) and the Bourgoin-Jallieu Research Brigade.

The investigators, who worked all night, proceeded Tuesday morning to the first hearings of the witnesses to try to establish the exact chronology of the facts, reported a source close to the investigation to AFP.

The state of health of the two injured was "rather improving," Audrey Quey, the prosecutor of the Republic of Vienna, told AFP.

She adds that no arrest has yet been carried out in the case, which does not "have the profile of a settling of accounts".

"From what I see, [the victims] were not people who were known to the police or the judiciary," she added.
