There is terror in Grenoble (Isère) after the death of a municipal employee. The victim wanted to intervene in a traffic accident on Sunday, September 8, but the driver shot him before fleeing.
The police are still looking for the suspect. The very violent collision on Sunday, September 8, had only caused one minor injury, but the aftermath of the accident cost the life of a man who came to provide assistance. It was 7:30 a.m. in the city center of Grenoble (Isère), a gray car was hit at high speed by another high-powered car. Witnesses to the scene intervened and tried to talk to the driver. He then fired twice.
One of the witnesses was hit in the chest, a municipal employee of the urban cleaning service who was working on Sunday morning. His colleagues are shocked. “We come to work, we get shot, where do we go?”exclaims one of them. The man shot was a 49-year-old father. Residents denounce a climate of growing insecurity. This Sunday evening, the fugitive has not yet been found. The recordings from the cameras at the crossroads may be able to help investigators in a city plagued by firearms. Since the beginning of the year, Grenoble has experienced 18 shootings.
