Police launch investigation into escalation of dispute in bar in Évreux, Normandy, after five others injured
A man has driven a car into a crowd outside a bar in northern France after a dispute in which one person was killed and five others injured, according to prosecutors.
The incident took place in the town of Évreux, Normandy, at about 4am on Saturday.
Authorities have launched an investigation into homicide and attempted homicide, with prosecutors saying they had ruled out terrorism as a motive. Police have taken two men and a woman into custody.
“Unfortunately, the toll is very heavy,” Rémi Coutin, the local prosecutor, said. Of the five people who were injured, two were in critical condition.
