Cinq jours après une première nuit de violences urbaines à Limoges, un guet-apens de plus a été tendu aux forces de l’ordre et de nouvelles scènes d’affrontements ont eu lieu une partie de la nuit.

Overview

  • Two suspects have been presented to judges in Nîmes over a June 26 shooting that wounded six and the earlier immolation of a 19-year-old
  • In Béziers, gunmen used a firework mortar to ambush firefighters and police, igniting an apartment and wounding an officer as a CRS unit was sent in
  • Authorities arrested two individuals after about 30 masked attackers struck a Compiègne police station with mortars and looted a tobacco shop
  • Limoges saw a “guerrilla”-style assault by around 100 masked assailants that injured ten officers and blocked the RN 141, with no arrests made so far
  • Los Angeles police charged 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez with voluntary violence after he rammed his car into a nightclub queue and injured about 30 people while the person who shot him remains on the run
