A staff sergeant was shot in the leg with a pistol, which pierced his leg, during a speech before Etampes, in Essonne.
A firefighter was shot Tuesday night while working to extinguish a vehicle fire in Etampes (Essonne, France), which sparked outrage from the Interior Minister, right-wing politicians and the profession on Wednesday.
The firefighter, first sergeant, was wounded in the leg by a shot that went through her leg during an operation in the Guinette area, according to several sources. The wound is not serious, and at the moment it is not possible to say the weapon or the caliber.

The events occurred around 11:20 p.m., while no one was in contact with the intervention of the police and firefighters. “They didn’t even hear the detonation,” a police source reported. “I have ensured that a report is filed. These heinous acts must not go unpunished,” Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin responded in a tweet, reiterating his “unwavering support for those who protect us at the risk of their lives.”
“Attempted murder”
Gregory Allione, president of the National Federation of Firefighters (FNSPF), which oversees the country’s 247,000 firefighters, blamed the “assassination attempt” on his part. “I could never have imagined the day we would intentionally try to kill a firefighter when he was on a protection and rescue mission. A heinous act that I would personally describe as attempted murder and one that I hope will be brought to justice. he said on Twitter.
The General Director of Citizen Security and Crisis Management (TSDMB) expressed “deep outrage”, while the attack on this firefighter caused outrage across the right-wing political spectrum.
The right calls for “zero tolerance”
“Yesterday a new level of violence was reached in Etampes,” commented the president of the Île-de-France region, Valérie Pécresse (Libre). “I hope the state police increase their presence in our suburbs this summer,” she said. Her colleague in Hauts-de-France, Xavier Bertrand (ex-RL), called for “zero tolerance” towards those who lead firefighters to the target.
“How long will this savagery be trivialized?” asked RN Vice President Jordan Bardella.
An investigation was opened to determine the origin of the shooting and entrusted to the security of the Essonne department.
