The teams of Pau police and RAID mobilized this Saturday morning in the district of the former sorting center rue des Messagers after the report of a couple from Palois. Around 7:30 a.m., as they were walking quietly on rue des Messagers, they came across a man, handgun in hand. After their eyes met, the man would then shot in the air putting the couple to flight who alerted the police. A team quickly goes to the scene, and in turn hears gunshots. They decide to block the main exit, before being joined by reinforcements.

They will then call on the elite unit of the RAID to dislodge the suspect. A team is dispatched from Bordeaux which goes meticulously search the area in vain. Around 11 a.m., the doubt is lifted. No trace of the suspect. The police have patrol in the neighborhood all day Saturday, without getting hold of him either, and no other reports were made to the 17.
