Masked Youths Throw Grenade into Beauty Salon in Grenoble, France, Injuring 6 Including a Child

A grenade exploded inside a beauty salon in Grenoble, France, on Friday afternoon, injuring six people—including a 5-year-old child—all with minor injuries. The victims received on-site treatment from firefighters and did not require hospitalization.

The attack took place around 3:00 p.m. when two masked suspects entered the premises on a busy central street, tossed the device inside, and fled. Witnesses described hearing screams followed by a loud blast that shattered the storefront window.

The suspects remain at large, and the Grenoble prosecutor's office has released limited details, with no motive yet identified. An investigation is underway.

This incident echoes a similar grenade attack in the city in February 2025, when 12 people were wounded after one was thrown into a bar (though authorities ruled out terrorism in that case).

In response to recurring violence, local police have increased patrols and are calling on residents to stay vigilant.

How do they know they were “youths” if they were wearing masks?

I’ll bet right now that one or more of the 6 youths is named Mohammed.

“no motive yet identified”

Really dumb statement.
The motive was “to terrorize the general public”.
Now the sticky part is to figure out which terrorist organization is responsible since there are so many in Paris.

Step 1: How many of these organizations have the ability to get a grenade?
Although, from the injury tally, it sounds more like a ‘flash-bang’ than a grenade.

...police... calling on residents to stay vigilant.

"Vigilant" citizens would then be "vigilantes."

Angry mobs are burning down Mosques in Iran right now. I think that is wonderful!

Heading down the road to Communism and sticking it to those who refuse to goosestep. The friggin scumbag illegal aliens have divided America and split the American people into separate tribes each fighting over a bigger piece of the pie. Congratulations Uncle Sammy. We gave away everything our ancestors fought for while removing the memories of them from our buildings and town squares. We are the aho generations.

Except for other Muslims:

Good point.

Terrorists’ motive is to terrorize.

“I used to say, ‘Liars shouldn’t lie.’ What a sad waste of words that is! I found out liars are supposed to lie. That’s why we call them liars — they lie!”. Now I don’t concern myself with it. I sleep like a baby.”

I caught that, too. What does it even mean? Watch out for masked youths carrying hand grenades?

Not that they asked me, but here’s some advice for native Frenchmen (and for native Frenchwomen): Support Marine Le Pen and the National Rally. It’s your last hope.

And now La Marseillaise, from the movie “Casablanca”:

In the great Inspector Clouseau scene where Peter Sellers dressed like Toulouse Lautrec was handed a bomb at the door, said he couldn’t tip the messenger because “I’m a little short” and tossed the bomb inside.

Amazingly, the French are still warning people about someone with an explosive so “be on the lookout.”

Kinda early for Ramalamadingdong, so probably Buddists.

And thanks for that inspiring video.

Rush Limbaugh mused more than once about who would win future US elections. “I fear there are not as many good people left in America to defeat the increasing number of liberals. We must get every one of us registered and voting to turn that tide.”

There is some speculation that this is part of an organized crime war.
