Shooting at bar in France’s southern city of Marseille leaves 6 people injured - Reports
Moscow/Sputnik/UNI: An unknown gunman opened fire inside a bar in France’s southern city of Marseille, leaving six people injured, media reported.
The Provence news outlet reported that the incident took place at La Terminus bar at around 2030 hrs (19:30 GMT) on Thursday.
One of those injured has sustained a serious wound.
France Bleu reported that the shooter was at large.
While those injured were hospitalized, the authorities blocked off the area near the bar.
The police launched a probe into the incident. They consider score-settling as one of the reasons behind the shooting.
Xavier Tarabeux, the public prosecutor of Marseille, told France Bleu that back in 2017, a 26-year-old man was killed in a score-settling incident at the same bar.
