The old man had learned that his girlfriend left him 30 years
The murderous rage of Joachim Toro, 78, who was shot Thursday, a retiree of 70 years and two municipal employees in Rivesaltes, in the Pyrenees Orientales, was triggered by disappointment to learn that his friend aged 30 years left him, the prosecutor said Friday.
"He had an affair with a young woman who charms his money a little. Accompanied by a friend, she came to serve him with the break early in the afternoon. He grabbed his gun and fired in the direction of two women who fled by car, "said Attorney Perpignan Jean-Pierre Dreno.
The friend of the old man was slightly wounded by a shot.
The man then shot and killed a pensioner of 72 years, then two municipal employees from 36 to 42 years before attempting suicide.
