the intervention forces called on the spot at the time testify

It was an attack that marked the spirits on July 14, 2016, in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). The assailant mowed down 86 people, who died. Ludovic, a recent police officer, was then on patrol on the Promenade des Anglais. “We do not yet see the attack in its entirety, we only see a man who shoots us from a truck “remembers the man. He will also shoot for the first time in his young career. The turmoil that reigns inevitably worries and many bodies are lying on the ground that evening.

The municipal police intervened directly, in an emergency, but later, it was the Raid who arrived at the scene of the terrorist attack. The fear of the authorities was to have to deal with several assailants who could have caused even more victims. “I take the example of the Bataclan where a commando went into action so we have this fear”explains the number 2 of the Raid, Éric Estève, at that time. The doctors still have the memory of the many victims and the feeling of fear that invades them when they think back to this attack. “I stopped emergency medicine”admits one of the emergency doctors during this evening.
