The man who opened fire during a health pass control, Saturday September 18 in Chambéry, was indicted and remanded in custody Monday September 20 for attempted assassination, reports France Bleu Pays de Savoie. During his 48 hours in police custody, the man in his fifties claimed to be anti-health pass. He also admitted to being the author of the shootings. Two security officers were injured, one in the hand and the other in the abdomen.
