A tragic incident occurred at a wedding ceremony in Thionville, France, leaving one dead and five injured. On the night of June 29, a masked gang attacked the reception hall of Eden Palace, where around a hundred guests, mostly from the local Turkish community, were celebrating. The shooting happened around 1 am, targeting a group of people outside the hall. Three men, reportedly wearing face coverings and black hoodies, fled the scene before police arrival.
According to sources, the attack is linked to a settling of scores between drug traffickers. The victims, aged between 25 and 50, included a man in his 30s who was killed, three seriously injured, and two others with minor injuries. Witnesses described the perpetrators using Kalashnikovs and a shotgun, firing over 15 rounds. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and working to understand how the attackers knew their targets would be outside. The motives remain unknown, but authorities believe drug trafficking is involved. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of drug-related violence in the border region of Thionville.
