An 11-year-old British girl was shot dead in Saint-Herbot, a hamlet in Brittany, western France, on Saturday, according to the local prosecutor.
The girl’s parents were seriously wounded in the gun attack. Her 8-year-old-sister escaped and was found “unharmed but in a state of shock,” Quimper prosecutor Carine Halley said in a statement on Sunday.The family were in their garden when their 71-year-old Dutch neighbour appeared with a firearm and started firing several times in their direction before shutting himself in his house with his wife, authorities say.
“The youngest girl came running to the neighbours shouting: ‘My sister is dead, my sister is dead,’” Yannick said. The Quimper prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation on charges of voluntary manslaughter of a minor and attempted murder.
