Fifth night of violence in Martinique Friday, November 26. The face-to-face is increasingly tense between the police and the rioters. They throw projectiles, the gendarmes retaliate with tear gas. In the Batelière district in Fort-de-France, the soldiers patrol, heavily armed. They are supported by drones and a helicopter.
Later, the gendarmes suffered a first shot with live ammunition, an unprecedented fact. The GIGN is immediately called to try to control the shooter. For the first time since the start of the riots, armored vehicles are mobilized. The shooter was not arrested. Balance sheet: two minor injuries. Several districts of Fort-de-France have seen scenes of looting. A vocational school of Lament has been broken into. A post office was attacked with a construction machine. The shop of a gas station was set on fire by looters. The fire was put out on Saturday morning.
