Man held for firing air gun at busy street
French police arrested a man in northern France on Friday after he fired an air gun into a busy street from the fifth-floor window of his home.
The shooting began just before 11am on Friday in Reims, with witnesses saying “several shots were fired” on the busy Jean-Jaurès avenue.
Several police officers were deployed to the scene, entering the building where the shooting had come from and which appeared to be the suspect’s home.
