A 15-year-old is killed in a shooting in Nantes, France, in what authorities describe as a suspected settling of scores tied to drug dealing. France’s Interior Minister Laurent Nunez visits the western city following the attack. Local reporting says the shooting takes place in or near a tower block and is linked to violence associated with drug dealing and disputes between individuals involved in that trade.
In connection with the killing, Nunez says the government will work to stamp out drug-related crime. The pledged response is framed as a move against the underlying drug violence that investigators believe is behind the attack.
Both accounts treat the case as part of a broader pattern of drug-linked street violence rather than an isolated incident. The specific number of suspects, the identities of those involved, and further details about arrests or weaponry are not provided in the excerpts.
