Summary

Mr. Emeric Salmon alerts the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories to the shooting which took place in Rennes on the night of March 9 to 10, 2024 in the Blosne district. The facts are particularly serious: a shootout using weapons of war between around ten drug traffickers lasted almost an hour and left two people injured in the city of Rennes. According to an article in the newspaper Le Télégramme: “Apart from the attacks of 2015, never in France, such a long shootout and with assault rifles, had apparently not been noted. Between the first call for emergency police at 1:56 a.m. and the last, at 3:03 a.m., 67 endless minutes passed. According to several sources, “more than a hundred shell casings” from automatic weapons (9 mm and 7.62 mm) were discovered on site. The 7.62 mm ammunition fired by Kalashnikovs is capable of penetrating residential walls. Of the shots also pierced two homes in the neighborhood, fortunately sparing their residents.” “Since the Paris attacks in 2015, a national intervention plan for security forces has been put in place for terrorism and mass killings. The departure time after alerting the specialized forces (GIGN, RAID, BRI-BAC - anti-commando brigade in Paris - and their branches in the provinces) must not be more than 30 minutes, day and night, every day of the year. Rennes has a RAID antenna. “By the time it was realized that it was assault rifle fire, that it was continuing over time, the RAID alert was triggered at 2:18 a.m.,” specify several sources. “They were there around 2:45 a.m.,” adds a police officer. They decided to advance slowly with the armored vehicle at the head of the procession. The shooting stopped at 3:03 a.m. The police took possession of “4 Banat” at 3:30 a.m. The response time of the police forces raises questions, more than an hour after the start of the exchanges of fire. The MP questions the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories on the reasons explaining such a delay in intervention to identify possible solutions allowing these very serious situations not to recur.
