On a tragic Saturday afternoon, a migrant camp in Dunkirk became the target of a gunman's rampage. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old French national Paul D., had a deep-seated grudge against migrants. He went on a shooting spree, ultimately taking the lives of five individuals in less than two hours.
The first victim was transport company chief Paul Dekeister, who was shot in front of his family at their farmhouse in Wormhout. Next, two security guards named Marc and Aurélien were killed while patrolling an industrial zone near the port in Loon-Plage. According to sources, the suspect had a dispute with Dekeister and may have targeted the security guards due to his animosity towards migrants.
As the suspect made his way towards the nearby migrant camp, two more lives were taken. Hamid and Hadi, two migrants who had recently returned to France after a failed attempt to reach Britain, were shot and killed. Witnesses reported hearing around 15 gunshots, and it was evident that the shooter was skilled with firearms as all victims were shot in the head.
After the killings, the suspect turned himself in to French police and confessed to all five murders. He was found to be in possession of multiple firearms, including a Smith and Wesson 44 Remington rifle. The mayor of Loon-Plage, Éric Rommel, stated that there was no apparent connection between the security guards and the other victims.
The community was in shock following the attack, and a large presence of police and emergency vehicles flooded the area. Residents were on high alert, fearing that the gunman may have had accomplices. The mayor of Wormhout, David Calcoen, expressed his disbelief and confusion over the tragic events.
This senseless act of violence has left five families grieving and a community shaken. It is a stark reminder of the dangers of holding onto grudges and the devastating consequences that can result. May the victims rest in peace, and may their loved ones find solace in this difficult time.
