Two people were killed and five others injured in a shooting in the Moulin district of Nice, France, on Friday evening.
According to local authorities, two of the wounded remain in serious condition, while three sustained lighter injuries.
Footage posted by BFMTV shows one of the victims with a gunshot wound to the back, receiving emergency aid from local residents inside a restaurant kitchen.
Laurent Hottiaux, the regional prefect, confirmed during a visit to the scene that an active manhunt is underway for the perpetrators.
A local resident who claimed to witness the incident told BFMTV: “Four men arrived in a car and opened fire on everyone.”
He added that the area still bore visible traces of gunfire. Another witness reported seeing a second vehicle near the scene.
Nice mayor Christian Estrosi linked the attack to drug-related crime, saying the shooting stemmed from “gang incursions tied to the narcotics trade” and that the assailants used automatic weapons.
French police have increased patrols in the area as the investigation continues.
