Marseille shooting: Hooded men open fire with Kalashnikovs
UK Express ^ | 21 May | Nicole Stinson

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.

As police arrived on the scene they were blocked by some of the suspects in a Renault Megane, France Bleu reports.

There was then a shoot-out with police before the attackers fled the scene.

At this time it is unclear if any arrests have been made, but police are investigating and a cordon has been set up.

Yet another mass shooting, in gun confiscation France. In a disarmed victims zone, no less.

Details still sketchy...

Might be drug-related

Did they get the silver briefcase? What color is the boathouse at Herfordshire?

If the images on Yahoo.com mean anything, La Busserine looks like a bunch of high-density kinda run down welfare-oriented apartments with as they say, a real ethnic feel to them.
Given all that, it could be terror - but probably race or drug related.

This has to be a mistake. France is a gun free zone.

Hey Macaroon, what are you going to do when Italy kicks their illegal “migrants” out? You gonna take them in? Why don’t you control your borders, eh?

Huge muzzle population in Marseille. Also a lot of criminal gang activity. So we shall see what was the basis for this attack.

I don't know....

I don't remember. That's the second thing they taught me.

So were these for real full auto weapons? How did they get those in France?

Sounds like the French really lucked out on this one if “hooded men” opened fire with automatic rifles and only one person was injured.
