- In Rennes, a 25‑year‑old was found shot dead in a car after multiple fusillades near drug dealing spots in Villejean and Le Blosne, prompting the urgent deployment of CRS 82 riot police.
- In Isère, the prosecutor reported two men aged 18 and 22 were killed following a large brawl in Échirolles and Grenoble, and investigators have not, at this stage, linked the deaths to narcotics trafficking.
