As the sun rises on a peaceful morning in France, police are still present at the scene of a tragic shooting that occurred last night. The area is surrounded by caution tape and flashing lights as the authorities investigate the events that unfolded at a wedding in the city of Thionville.
According to reports, the wedding celebration was disrupted by a group of masked individuals wielding guns. The attackers, believed to be linked to drug trafficking, opened fire on the wedding guests at the Eden Palace reception hall. Among the roughly 100 guests in attendance were members of the local Turkish community, as well as friends and family of the bride and groom.
The attack resulted in the death of one man in his thirties and left five others injured, including a pregnant woman. Three of the victims, including the expectant mother, sustained serious injuries, while the remaining two were wounded by flying glass. It was a terrifying and chaotic scene as the attackers fled in a 4x4 vehicle, leaving behind a shattered glass door and shell-shocked guests.
According to witnesses, the attackers were wearing face coverings and black hoodies, making it difficult for the police to identify them. It is believed that they were armed with Kalashnikovs and a shotgun, which they used to open fire on the group of guests who had stepped outside to smoke. By the time the police arrived, the perpetrators had already fled the scene, leaving behind a trail of destruction and devastation.
The police have reason to believe that this attack was a settling of scores among rival drug traffickers. This is not the first time that gang violence has erupted in this region, as just a few miles away in the town of Villerupt, five people were injured in a similar shooting incident back in May 2023. The pregnant woman, who suffered minor injuries, was left in shock after the attack, while the other victims, all between 25 and 50 years old, were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
A police source revealed that the wedding was not the intended target of the attack, but rather the guests who were present at the celebration. The source also mentioned that the area has seen gang violence before, making it a concerning issue for the authorities to address. As the investigation continues, the community is left in shock and mourning over the tragic events that unfolded at what was supposed to be a joyous occasion.
