The two police officers were placed in police custody within the framework of the investigation for voluntary homicide by person depositary of the public authority entrusted to the General Inspectorate of the National Police (IGPN), according to a source Close to the file, confirmed by a judicial source. In cases of police, the IGPN is systematically seized.
A second investigation for attempted murder on a person depositary of the public authority, conducted by the judicial police, concerns the conditions of the refusal to comply.
On the scene of the facts, in a street adjacent during Vincennes, in the east of the capital, a tarpaulin was installed to hide the scene. The driver’s red car was across this track, and a survival blanket was visible on the ground, before a white tent went up to hide them from looks. Part of the neighborhood, where businesses were still open at the time of the events, was completed by the police. 2>
Twelve people who died after police fire in 2022
Since the beginning of the year, twelve people have died after police fire as part of refusal to comply. In a few hours, in September, two people died, and a third was injured by police fire: in Rennes on the night of September 6 to 7, a woman was killed and a man injured during an interception during an anti -crop operation; Then a man, driving a stolen car, lost his life in Nice around 4:30 p.m.
An 18-year-old young woman, a temporary car hunted by the police in Grenoble, was killed in exchanges of gunshots in the night of October 4 to 5 during a chase. In August, two men lost their lives in Vénissieux (Rhône), and another in Neuville-en-Ferrain (North). A motorist was killed in March in Sevran (Seine-Saint-Denis), and an Egyptian migrant in June at the Franco-Italian border, in Sospel (Alpes-Maritimes). Also in June, a passenger was killed after a chase in the 18th e arrondissement. Also died a driver and his passenger on the bridge-nuf in Paris in April.
The multiplication of the dead since the beginning of the year after police fire during refusal to comply raises the question of the use of their weapons by the police. By way of comparison, two people had been killed in similar circumstances in 2021, in Marseille and Bayonne, according to the IGPN report.
A law of February 2017 modified the conditions for opening fire by the police. They were previously subject to the penal code and the principles of self -defense, like any citizen.
Article 435-1 of the internal security code now stipulates that they can draw in the event of refusal to comply if they cannot stop the car other than by the use of weapons and if, in its Leak, the driver is “likely to perpetrate (…) damage to their life or their physical integrity or those of others”. The principles of “absolute necessity” and “strict proportionality”, linked to self -defense, remain in force.
