Twelve people have been injured, some critically, after a grenade was thrown into a bar in southeastern France . It happened in a working-class area of Grenoble shortly after 8pm on Wednesday, the local prefecture said. 'A person came in, threw a grenade, didn't say a word, it seems, and then fled,' prosecutor François Touret de Coucy said. The assailant was carrying a Kalashnikov-type assault rifle he did not use, the prosecutor added.
All the injured were taken to the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital, BFMTV reported. Eric Piolle, the mayor of Grenoble, said he condemned in the 'strongest terms' the 'criminal act of unprecedented violence that occurred in a business in the Olympic Village district'. He thanked the emergency and security forces for their 'rapid intervention'.
