A shooting and massive brawl linked to drug trafficking has seriously wounded five people, including three teenagers, in western France, in the latest such gunfight to injure children.

The shooting began at about 10.45pm on Thursday in front of a restaurant in Poitiers and rapidly escalated into a mass fight, the interior minister, Bruno Retailleau, told BFMTV/RMC radio yesterday.

"What started as a shooting at a restaurant ended up in a fight between rival gangs that involved several hundred people," Retailleau said. A 15-year-old boy who was shot in the head was in a critical condition, he added.

Citing police sources, BFMTV said two other teenagers, both 16, were among the injured. People in a car had opened fire on a bar-restaurant on the Place Coimbra, a known drug-trafficking hotspot, before driving off, it reported.
