A massive shootout linked to drug trafficking has seriously wounded a teenager and four others in western France, the interior minister, Bruno Retailleau, said, in the latest such gunfight to injure children.
The shootout erupted overnight in front of a restaurant in Poitiers, Retailleau told BFMTV/RMC radio on Friday. “What started as a shooting at a restaurant ended up in a fight between rival gangs that involved several hundred people,” he said.
