Following the shooting of a man this Sunday afternoon in the eastern part of the city, the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, announced via a tweet that he has spoken with the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, to request more resources in order to further secure the city.
“After a firearm injury in Ariane and following recent incidents, I discussed with @GDarmanin to request additional resources. I thank him for his attention and concern for #Nice06 as always. These acts will not go unanswered.”
