Gunmen Kill One, Injure Five at Wedding in Northeastern France
Masked assailants linked to drug trafficking open fire on guests in Thionville, police say
- The attackers, armed with automatic weapons, arrived in a 4x4 vehicle and fled the scene after the shooting.
- The incident occurred at a wedding reception with around 100 attendees, including a pregnant woman among the injured.
- Authorities believe the attack was a result of a gang-related conflict, not an intentional targeting of the wedding.
- Two victims are in critical condition and receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.
- The region has a history of violence linked to drug trafficking, with a similar incident in a neighboring town last year.
