GRAND CASE--A male tourist was shot by a firearm Sunday night in Grand Case and was robbed of his wallet, while his wife was robbed of her hand bag.
The incident occurred at midnight in the vicinity of Le Pressoir restaurant as the couple were walking back to Grand Case Beach Club, according to the Fire Brigade (pompiers) who were first on the scene.
Video footage taken by a passer by showed the male victim with blood on his trousers on the ground talking to the medics. It was not specified what his injury was or if any vital organs were affected.
