Five people, including a young girl, have been shot in a forest in the Alps, French authorities said.
All five were initially reported to be dead, but the girl, believed to be around 7 years old, is now reported to be in critical condition in a hospital, according to a local prosecutor.
An official with the regional administration for the Haute-Savoie region says three of the bodies were found in a BMW registered in Britain.
The Sipa news agency says the girl was found alive with bullet wounds on a forest road.
It happened in a forest near Chevaline, near Annecy lake, in Haute-Savoie.
The initial reports said a cyclist discovered the girl, the three bodies in the car and a fourth body, of a cyclist, lying nearby.
Reports from the scene said the bodies were riddled with bullets. Police are calling it an "assassination."
Sky News reported that another cyclist found the bodies. That cyclist is in shock.
The identity of the victims is unclear. The British Foreign Office says it is aware of reports of the incident and is looking into it.

if this wasn't a drug deal gone bad then it was some random crazy. considering they shot a cycling witness i'm leaning toward some sort of illegal deal going on.

What's there to say? Guns are everywhere. But just start comparing the rates of such things to a general population. Originally Posted by fender010

Don't think you can say ANYTHING until this happens on a weekly basis. Originally Posted by fender010

While I do understand where you are coming from, the fact that the intelligent people need to protect the stupid people from themselves and others, in all reality there is nothing you can do. If some psychopath wants to go on a raging killing spree, and has enough willpower to do it, unless caught before hand it is going to happen. Whether it be a gun, a knife, an axe, or a fork.

2012-09-05, 11:30 PM #13DeletedPretty well. Besides, you americans think that gun control over here means not being able to buy weapons. It doesn't. Here in Ireland, one of the more restrictive countries, shotguns are easy to to get a license for, basically a formality and a quick criminal background check. Rifles are harder. Handguns almost impossible, automatic weapons impossible (unless you're a criminal, blah blah yes we all know that argument. Take a walk through Temple Bar at 02:30 some Sunday morning and then think about whether our populace should be armed :P). There are other countries where weapons licenses are easy to get, especially those where there is mandatory military service (Switzerland springs to mind). Originally Posted by fender010

2012-09-05, 11:45 PM #15DeletedI love our gun control. It's not like it's hard to get a weapon legally... i have three firearms legally in Sweden and all 3 have supressors and i have about 600 rounds for each firearm, you jelly ? Or am i doing it wrong by not going to cinemas ? Snap. Originally Posted by fender010
