In France, a shooting in the Puy-de-Dôme prefecture in the central part of the country killed three gendarmes and wounded another. It was reported by BFMTV on Wednesday, December 23.

It is indicated that the police arrived in a remote village near the city of Saint-Just in connection with a sign of internal conflict. There they saw that there was a woman on the roof of the house trying to escape persecution. A 48-year-old man started shooting at the gendarmes. He then set the house on fire, which eventually burned down completely.

The woman was saved. The man opened fire several times on the operatives when they tried to get closer. Three died, a lieutenant, an ajudan and a brigadier. They were 21, 37 and 45 years old.

The crime scene is cordoned off. The attacker was wanted by 300 security agents. He was finally found dead. This was announced by the head of the French Interior Ministry, Gerald Darmanen, on his page in Twitter.

Earlier, in western France, in the De-Sevres department, a man opened fire and killed three people at the company. The shooter attempted suicide and seriously wounded himself.
