Three prison guards have been killed in an attack on a prisoner transport in Normandy, according to French media. A prisoner who was to be transferred from one prison to another has been released and is on the run.
It is said that the van was attacked in the morning at a toll booth in the Eure region. A gun battle took place and the prisoner was then able to escape with the attackers. In addition to the dead, three were also injured.
“All my thoughts are with the victims, their families and their colleagues,” wrote Justice Minister Éric Dupond-Moretti. However, the newspaper “Le Parisien” writes about a man nicknamed “La Mouche” (the fly) who is behind bars served for attempted murder and burglary. He is also said to be the leader of a drug gang.
