The drama was tied around 5:30 after a festive evening. A man was shot dead Sunday morning in a nightclub in Saint-Martin-du-Fouilloux (Maine-et-Loire), near Angers, we learned from the gendarmerie. The shooter killed “the man of about 30 years with a single shot in the nightclub” before fleeing in a vehicle, according to the same source.
Late Sunday afternoon, the suspect was still being sought. Angers prosecutor Eric Bouillard said on Sunday morning that he would “not communicate on this case which is beginning”. The gendarmerie, which confirmed that the facts “were located in their area” referred to the prosecution, as did the prefecture and the firefighters.
