A young man wounded by a shoemaker in the village during a violent altercation

Several shots were fired, a bullet hit a youth’s shin.

The scene shocked more than one. This Sunday a little after 8 p.m., several shots were fired at rue du Village, in Quaregnon, just a stone’s throw from the Grand-Place. For reasons that will still have to be clarified, a violent altercation broke out between several young people and a well-known merchant in the region since the latter has been running the shoe repair shop for many years, himself installed at rue du Village. Several shots were fired and one of the youths was shot in the shin.

According to our information, it all started against a backdrop of incivism behind the wheel. The young drivers were reported to have had a heavy foot on the accelerator as they drove through the center of the village. What unfortunately could happen happened: an accident was caused and the tone rose between the conductors and the shoemaker. Also according to our information, the trader was severely beaten and found himself on the ground.

Once relieved, the latter went to his shop located barely twenty meters from the scene of the attack and returned armed. Several shots were fired. One of the young people was injured in the shin. He was able to be taken care of and taken to EpiCURA hospital. Her days are not in danger, however. Police teams arrived in large numbers on the scene to secure them and to allow the evacuation of the victim.

The usual findings are still necessary in order to clarify this story and understand how a merchant without history and having a storefront could come to seize a weapon and shoot someone to put an end to the situation.
