Spree shooting in Nord Department, France

2024 Nord Department killings
Location	Nord Department, France
Date	14 December 2024 15:15–16:15
Attack type	Shooting spree
Weapons	Pistol
Deaths	5
Injured	0
Perpetrator	Unnamed 22-year-old man

During the afternoon of December 14, 2024, five people were killed during a shooting spree across the Nord Department in France. A man was detained.

Attacks

The perpetrator began the series of attacks by ramming his vehicle into the courtyard of a business owner's home in Wormhout at around 3.15pm. Upon seeing the vehicle, the 29-year-old man left the house, where he was hit by numerous gunshots, and was killed instantly.

The perpetrator of the shooting then reached the port of Dunkirk shortly after at about 4pm, opening fire on a vehicle and killing two security guards aged 33 and 37. He then reached the Loon-Plage train station, killing two Iranian citizens of Kurdish ethnicity aged 19 and 30. Both were residents of the city's refugee camp.

The perpetrator, a 22-year-old man, handed himself over to the Ghyvelde's gendarmerie at 5.20pm. It was confirmed that the first victim was the owner of a company where the killer worked, while both security guards were his former colleagues. It is suspected that the reasons for the first three murders can be attributed to work-related resentments. However, the motives for the last two murders and whether the killer knew the victims is unclear.
