Schoolgirl, 11, From British Family Reportedly Shot Dead In France2 min read
An 11-year-old girl from a British family has been shot dead in France while her father is seriously injured, according to reports.
A neighbour is said to have shot at the girl on Saturday evening in a hamlet near the city of Quimper in the western province of Brittany.
Her eight-year-old sister was left in “shock”, after fleeing to raise the alarm.
The Foreign Office is providing assistance to her family.
A spokesperson said: “We are providing consular assistance to a British family following a shooting in France and are in contact with the local authorities.”
The suspect, a 71-year-old Dutch national, has been arrested, according to local prosecutors.
They also said the motive behind the shooting is “not yet known,” but may have been to do with a conflict between neighbours about a plot of land adjoining the homes.
Local media said the family of four were having a barbecue in the garden when the neighbour shot several times in their direction.
Carine Halley, the state prosecutor in Quimper, said the child was dead and her father, who is about 40-years-old, was seriously injured when police arrived, The Times reported.
Ms Halley said he was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
The suspect is reported to have then shut himself in his house with his wife.
The Intervention Group of the National Gendarmerie tactical unit was called to the scene and a negotiator persuaded the neighbour and his wife to give themselves up before they were arrested, the prosecutor reportedly said.
A local resident told French media that the younger child raised the alarm, running to neighbours shouting: “My sister is dead, my sister is dead”.
The Times said the family-of-four are believed to have lived in their current home for about four or five years and that the two girls were born in France.
Marguerite Bleuzen, the mayor of the nearby village of Plonevez-du-Faou, is reported to have said the family were well-known and came to the village fete.
