"French authorities on Saturday deployed dozens of police officers to the southern French city of Nice after two people were killed and another five received injuries in an apparent drug-related shooting. The assault took place late Friday in the low-income neighbourhood of Les Moulins, reputed to be a drug-dealing hub, in the west of the city. Two of the five wounded people were minors, prosecutors said."
"On Saturday, traces of blood were still visible on the ground as people went about their business. Two flower pots were placed on the sand to cover the blood stains. The attackers, travelling in a Peugeot car, opened fire on people near a drug-dealing spot Friday evening in the central square of the Les Moulins neighbourhood, which is home to around 8,000 people."
Two people were killed and five others injured in a late-Friday shooting in the Les Moulins neighbourhood of Nice, a low-income area known for drug dealing. Two of the wounded were minors and one victim remained in critical condition. Attackers in a Peugeot opened fire near a drug-dealing spot in the central square; a vehicle matching the description was later found burnt out in Mougins. Prosecutors said the shooting was linked to drug trafficking but noted several victims appeared unconnected and may have been hit indiscriminately. Some 60 police officers were deployed and the mayor urged a permanent security presence and tougher immigration measures.
