Wednesday, September 7, a refusal to comply led to the death of a man. The police officer behind the shooting is in custody Thursday. Back to the facts.
Weapon in hand, a policeman ordered, Wednesday, September 7 in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes), a vehicle to stop, but it backed off. At that moment, the shot went off. The driver was fatally shot. Was it self-defense? The police officer has been in custody since Wednesday evening.
The road safety team intervened following the report of the dangerous driving of a vehicle. According to the police, it was a stolen vehicle. The 24-year-old driver was known for multiple offences. While fleeing on Wednesday, he hit the police vehicle. The 23-year-old agent, who fired, had been in the field for a year and was well rated by his hierarchy. Since the beginning of the year, nine people have been killed by police fire after they refused to comply.
