The Iranian Embassy in France announced Thursday that it is actively investigating the deaths of two Iranian citizens in a shooting in northern France.
“In line with the inherent duties of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and diplomatic and consular missions to defend and support citizens abroad, the matter is being actively pursued,” the embassy said in a statement published by Iranian media.
According to Le Monde, five people were killed in northern France on Saturday, including two Iranian men, aged 19 and 30, who were living in a local migrant camp.
A 22-year-old suspect surrendered to authorities and was taken into custody on the same day.
