Toulouse: wounded by a bullet, he presents himself alone and not very talkative in the emergency room
A man was hospitalized on Tuesday evening after being shot in a neighborhood of Toulouse, possibly in Empalot.
A 29-year-old boy who was shot and obviously in no hurry to explain himself was hospitalized on Tuesday evening in Toulouse. He suffers a leg injury after being shot. His life is not in danger but the doctors have planned to operate on him to heal his wound and remove the projectile.
This man presented himself alone to the emergency department of the Purpan hospital on Tuesday evening. And when police officers alerted by the care facility came to ask him questions, he was not very talkative.
Already known to the police, in particular for offenses against the narcotics legislation, this boy claimed to be unaware of all the motivations for the attack. And he admitted to being unable to designate the author or authors of the shot. Besides, he has no intention of filing a complaint.
“It would have happened in Empalot at the end of the afternoon, with the usual reservations”, indicates a rather cautious member of the police in view of the lack of enthusiasm shown by the victim. The investigations remain, at this stage, designated to the unit of knowledge to the people, to the departmental security.
The Empalot district experienced a few restless evenings in the spring. And in mid-May, “friendly” relations met in front of the criminal court after a hectic beating on the side of Muret. The victim, known for his past involvement in trafficking, “an old story” pointed out this man to the magistrates, had not only filed a complaint but designated his attackers. At the hearing, curiously, no one spoke of drug trafficking even if the deal points in this southern district of Toulouse occupied many minds. The heavy sentences, from 2 to 7 years, were appealed and the case must be retried in the middle of the summer. In the meantime, apart from the incident on Tuesday and a few discrete passes of arms, calm seems to have returned to Empalot.
