French woman killed after being shot through wall

A 24-year-old woman was killed in her apartment in Marseille, France when a stray bullet, fired at a place where drugs are sold, hit her in the head.

Prosecutors say that someone shot a bullet randomly and it went through a window in the woman’s bedroom.

Marseille has been greatly affected by increasing violence caused by drug gangs, resulting in at least 40 deaths this year.

At least three innocent people, including this woman, have been killed in similar attacks.

She was first declared brain-dead after someone shot at her apartment with a Kalashnikov gun on Sunday night. She lived there with her mother in the Saint-Thys neighborhood.

She went to the hospital because she had a very bad injury on her head and she was in a lot of danger. She passed away on Tuesday morning, according to Marseille prosecutor Dominique Laurens.

The shooting happened near a pharmacy that the police know is a place where drugs are sold. The prosecutor said this in a statement.

The police found 23 bullet casings from a specific type of gun called a Kalashnikov at the place where everything happened. Ms Laurens said that after the gunshots started, the woman was hit by another bullet that was shot into the air without aiming.

According to the prosecutor, three more apartments in the building were also shot at, but none of the people living in those apartments were hurt.

Frédérique Camilleri, the police chief for the Bouches-du-Rhône department which includes Marseille, stated that drug gangs are using weapons of war without any control in order to gain control over new areas.

More police were being sent to the area, she said.

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin called the incident a terrible event and assured police that they would receive extra help.

He opened a new building for France’s top police unit, Raid, in Marseille.
Marseille has a long history of fighting and crime caused by drug gangs competing for control of certain areas.

However, the recent attacks are happening when the Mediterranean port city is already busy with hosting events for the Rugby World Cup and welcoming Pope Francis in September.

A man who was 55 years old was killed by a gunshot on Monday evening. This happened in a district located in the poor northern part of the city, which is known for drug dealing. The people who are thought to have committed the shooting were two individuals on a motorcycle.

There are two groups called Yoda and DZ Mafia that are believed to be responsible for many shootings in the northern parts of Marseille, especially in the tall buildings area known as La Paternelle.

According to the Marseille prosecutor’s office, there have been over 90 murders or attempted murders related to drug trafficking in France’s second largest city this year. Out of these incidents, 43 people have lost their lives and 109 others have been injured.

Smaller cities are also getting involved in the drug conflict more and more.

In the city of Nîmes, two people, one 18 years old and one 10 years old, were killed recently. The attacks were connected to the drug business.
