Two Wounded in Weekend Shootings in Marseille’s 3rd District

Police suspect a rivalry over drug-dealing points is driving the violence.

Ce dimanche après-midi, deux hommes ont été blessés par des tirs à proximité d'un point de deal de la cité Felix-Pyat. La veille, c'est sur un autre plan stup du 3e, rue du jet d'eau, qu'une fusillade a rententi.
Nouvelle fusillade sur un point de deal du 3e arrondissement de Marseille, deux blessés et deux suspects interpellés
La fusillade a éclaté rue du Jet d'eau, samedi soir, a proximité d'un point de deal. Un blessé par balle a été admis aux urgences peu après.

Overview

  • At about 3:50 p.m. Sunday, gunmen opened fire near the Parc Bellevue A5 building in Félix-Pyat at a known dealing site.
  • Witness reports described use of a Kalashnikov-type rifle alongside a handgun as officers secured the scene and collected evidence.
  • A 21-year-old sustained multiple limb wounds and a man of about 32 was found with a leg injury; both were hospitalized without life-threatening prognosis, according to local reports.
  • Anti-crime officers reportedly arrested two suspects shortly afterward in the 14th arrondissement, a development not confirmed by all outlets.
  • The Sunday attack followed a Saturday-night shooting near a Saint-Mauront dealing spot that left a 24-year-old with a leg wound, with the incidents set against a year marked by at least 16 drug-related killings in Bouches-du-Rhône.
