An armed gang killed two prison officers and seriously injured three to spring an inmate who was under escort.
Updated: 2 minutes agoPrison workers burn wooden pallets during a protest in front of the Corbas prison, outside Lyon, France, Wednesday, May 15, 2024 . A massive manhunt was underway in France on Wednesday for an armed gang that ambushed a prison convoy, killing two prison officers, seriously injuring three others and springing the inmate they were escorting.
“We are tracking you, we will find you and we will punish you,” Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said in parliament, to applause from lawmakers. “They will pay for what they have done.” The violence of the attack shocked France. Prison workers held moments of silence Wednesday outside prisons in Paris and elsewhere to commemorate the officers who were killed.
Another car followed behind the convoy, seemingly boxing it in. Assailants sprang from the cars and opened fire, spraying the prison vehicles, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said.
