‘A police sharpshooter accidentally fired his weapon during a speech by President Francois Hollande of France, injuring at two people, according to officials.
France’s Socialist leader was in the midst of a speech in a marquee to inaugurate a new fast train line in the western town of Villognon when a shot suddenly rang out, briefly interrupting the speech and causing commotion.
Despite the shot, once his security team concluded he was in no imminent danger, Mr Hollande continued talking, saying at one point: “I hope it’s nothing serious.”
In fact, a police sniper stationed outside the marquee where the speech was taking place had unintentionally opened fire while changing position.’
