On Tuesday, October 6, a student movement demonstration in Strasbourg concluded its planned route after an hour and a half. However, a group of participants decided to continue their protest in the streets of Krutenau and the Esplanade. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, while some demonstrators threw stones or set off firecrackers in response. The demonstration reached the Universités tram stop, near the Jean Rostand high school, at 5:30 p.m. Police officers were stationed on Edmond Labbé street at a distance from the crowd. A journalist from La presse libre reported that demonstrators threw projectiles, but they landed well before the police line. At 5:35 p.m., a loud noise was heard. Two police officers from the Security and Intervention Company (CSI), positioned near a line, fired an LBD, a type of non-lethal weapon used to disperse crowds. La presse libre filmed the scene, and a video shared on X showed a young person running while holding their face. Taranis news also published a video showing the officers holding the weapon and the young man experiencing the impact. The individual was seen bleeding from the inside of their mouth. The national police confirmed that they had informed the Strasbourg prosecutor's office after learning of the incident. They stated that a situation analysis was underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Emmanuel Fernandes, the deputy for the second constituency of the Bas-Rhin (LFI), reported the incident to the Strasbourg prosecutor, Clarisse Taron, who confirmed the opening of an investigation. This incident has sparked further scrutiny into the use of force during protests and the procedures followed by law enforcement.
