Eight people have been injured in a shooting outside a mosque in southern France, officials have confirmed.

Worshippers leaving the Arrahma mosque in Avignon were approached by two hooded suspects at about 22:30 local time (21:30 GMT) on Sunday.

The suspects, carrying a handgun and a shotgun, arrived in a Renault Clio before opening fire on the crowd, La Provence newspaper reports.
Police said they were not treating the incident as a terrorist attack.
Four people were wounded outside the mosque and a family of four - including a seven-year-old girl - also suffered injuries from shrapnel while in their apartment, located some 50 metres away, La Provence said, citing a source.

The Avignon attack is not being treated as a terrorist incident, the prosecutor's office said. Laure Chabaud, a district magistrate, said that the incident was likely to be the result of a dispute between youths.
On Thursday, a man was arrested after trying to drive a car into a crowd in front of a mosque in the Paris suburb of Creteil. No-one was injured in the incident.
France remains on alert amid heightened security following a deadly attack on Paris police in April and a series of terrorist incidents in recent years.

Hope no one was killed, and all make a complete recovery.

Just injuries from what the article says. Thankfully.

the incident was likely to be the result of a dispute between youths.

Which resulted in a bunch of innocents getting caught in-between.

Atleast no one was killed.

Almost everytime related to the drug traffic when they say it's a " youth dispute ". Probably over territory.
