In Paris, three soldiers from the 35th Parachute Artillery Regiment have been charged following an incident where one of them shot a fellow soldier in the head. The shooting took place on February 14, and the victim was critically injured by a 9mm projectile. He was rushed to the surgical unit for emergency treatment, highlighting the severity of the incident.

The soldiers were part of the 'Sentinelle' operation in the Paris region and were residing at the military hospital of Percy. The case initially began with an investigation opened by the Nanterre prosecutor's office. However, due to the military involvement, the case was later transferred to the Paris prosecutor's office, which is responsible for cases involving military personnel.

This incident raises serious concerns about the conduct of military personnel, especially regarding the use of alcohol and firearms. It prompts discussions about military discipline and the oversight of soldiers engaged in domestic operations, reflecting broader challenges within the military framework in France.
