A 60-year-old man has been arrested in Itsasu for allegedly shooting at a gendarme

On Sunday morning, a woman called the police warning that she was "insecure" in the house. When the officers arrived at the house, a man took a gun and shot one of them. Jendarmeria opened an investigation to clarify what happened. 

A 60-year-old man has been arrested in Itsasun (Lapurdi) on charges of attempting to kill a gendarme.

On Sunday morning, a brigade from the Bayonne Police Station went to a home in Itsasu after receiving a call from a woman who said she did not feel "safe," as Mayor Michel Hiribarren told FranceBleu.

When the officers arrived, the man seized a gun, a hunting rifle, and shot one of the officers for unknown reasons. 

The gendarme had to be taken to the hospital in Bayonne with a shot in the leg, but his life is not in danger.

The Baiona Public Prosecutor's Office has stated that "the perpetrator of the shooting has been arrested for attempted murder of a public representative of the authority".

The investigation to clarify the facts continues and the police are questioning those present.
