Twelve people were wounded when a grenade exploded in a bar in France's southeastern city of Grenoble on Wednesday, officials said.
"Someone came in and threw a grenade, apparently without saying a word, and ran away," prosecutor Francois Touret-de-Courcy told journalists at the scene, where emergency workers had cordoned off the area.
Two people were in critical condition, he said, adding that "many clients" were present when the grenade exploded, shortly after 8:00 pm (1900 GMT) at the bar in the Olympic Village neighbourhood, built when the picturesque city hosted the 1968 Winter Olympics.
Touret-de-Courcy said investigators had not yet identified a motive but did not believe it was a "terrorist attack".
"There's nothing to make us think it's linked to terrorism," he said, calling it an "act of extreme violence" that "may be linked to a settling of scores".
Investigators are looking at a possible connection to drug trafficking, he said, adding that some accounts indicated the suspect was also carrying a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

It is amazing how fast they know it is NOT terrorism.
“”There’s nothing to make us think it’s linked to terrorism,” he said”
In other words, it was a Muslim.
I’ve seen a few shootings in various bars, but never a grenade.
Wasn’t a Muzzie...he’d have wanted to go down on his 72 virgins.
An alla snack bar pineapple...
Inspector Clouseau is on the case.
Not terrorism in spite of the fact that an explosive device was thrown into a quiet peaceful bar thus terrorizing people.
Oh sure.
Or John Bolton with his coveted award...
But grenades are illegal.
