In Nantes, a 19-year-old man was shot in a building lobby in the Malakoff district, an area associated with drug activity; six individuals were subsequently arrested by the Brigade de Recherche et d’Intervention (BRI). On September 22, violence erupted in the Butte-Montceau district of Avon. Following a fight among youths that left a 17-year-old wounded by a knife, gunshots were reported near a local shopping center. Witnesses reported seeing an individual with what appeared to be a long weapon, such as an assault rifle, firing into the air.
