Four people killed near Lake Annecy in France

Four people have been shot dead in the peaceful surroundings of Lake Annecy in eastern France, say reports.

The bodies of three people were found in a British-registered BMW car near Chevaline, in the Haute Savoie region, say local media.

A cyclist was found dead nearby. A girl under 10 years old was discovered injured, reports said.

The lake is a popular tourist destination known for its swimming and water sports.



The cyclist who discovered the car is said to be in shock.

Police gave no details of the victims' nationalities, saying the investigation was still under way.

The girl was reported to have died of her injuries but Agence France-Presse later said the prosecutor who had announced her death had issued a correction.

He now says she is in a critical condition in intensive care, the news agency reports.

The parking lot in which the bodies were found is in a quiet, forested area.

It has now been sealed off by some 60 police, who have started a criminal investigation.

The UK's Foreign Office said it was aware of reports of the shootings and was looking into them urgently.

It looks like the dead are 1 man in the front/driving seat and 2 women in the back seat.

Wouldn't it be strange for Bristish tourists to take a gun with them ? For example if there is a hypothetical 2nd man in the front seat ?

Or some French hunter gone mad ? Or some French guy who hates British people, with the dead cyclist just shot dead because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time ?

Well, to be fair, stuff like this happens in the US every 3rd day or so, while in France this happens every 3rd year or so.

Gun control has worked very successfully in Australia, as demonstrated by the rise in knife crime since those laws came into being. of course, it's much harder to go on a killing spree with a knife, which is the point.
