HOODED gunmen have opened fire with automatic rifles, kalachnikovs, in Marseille, in south France – with one person reportedly injured.
The men opened fire on a group of young people not far from the cultural space known as ‘La Busserine’, local media Corse-Matin reports.
Three vehicles with the masked individuals arrived in the city’s district of Busserine at 5pm local time, France’s ACTU17 said.
Police exchanged fire with the shooters and officers have set up a cordon.
At this time it is unclear if any arrests have been made, but police are investigating.
Marseille’s Marines-Pompiers, the city’s fire and rescue service, is also at the scene.
This is the second shooting in the city in a matter of weeks.
Last month a man, said to be in his thirties, was seriously injured in a shooting outside a restaurant in central Marseille
The victim was hit several times in a hail of bullets after two gunmen opened fire as he sat with a drink in a snack bar.
He was in “serious condition”, according to France TV, after being shot more than once in the legs.
The shooting took place in broad daylight shortly before 3pm local time (2pm GMT) on April 17.
There are said to be several witnesses to the brazen attack on Avenue Camille Pelletan.
Since the start of the year, six people have been killed in shootings in Marseille, France TV said.
And three more people have been killed in gun violence in the wider Bouches-du-Rhone area

Can’t be Amish. They had Kalishnikovs. Therefore, they must be Heugonots.
I see the NRA has now started dictating gun policy in France. I’m impressed!
It’s just the local “refugees and asylum seekers” sharing their culture with their benevolent French hosts.
The French should WELCOME the exchange of culture!!
Let me get this straight - several men open fire with FULL AUTO weapons, and only hit the target a few times in the leg?
Hmmm! Some of La Resistance don’t know that the war is over and the Allies won?
With France’s embrace of Mohammedism, there’s no shortage of willing hitmen.
FYI all: In Politically Correct speak, violent feral youth, especially of the Amish variety, are said to be “vibrant”. The noun form describing them is VIBRANTS.
Who in the heck allowed the gendarmerie to have weapons?
(This smells like drugs.)
Back in 1992 was in Marseilles with my girlfriend. The travel guide I had said not to go through a certain neighborhood because of violence - and I am sure now it was an Islamic one. I was a jackass and wanted to take a short cut so went through it anyways. Cop cars parked every where in sight.
