Five people died from gunshots in northern France on Saturday. According to French media reports, they were fired twice - at a refugee camp in Loon-Plage and in nearby Wormhout.
Rescue workers announced that the first victim was found on Saturday afternoon in the small town of Wormhout. The 29-year-old was lying lifeless on the street with a bullet hole in his body and died on the spot.
Rescue was then called to Loon-Plage near the port city of Dunkirk. Two security guards and two migrants were killed there, probably by automatic firearms.
Perpetrator turned himself in
According to the French police, the suspected perpetrator is 22 years old and turned himself in in the municipality of Ghyvelde. The motive and circumstances of the crime were initially unclear. The man is said to be from the area. Nothing was initially known about the background to the crime.
The liberal daily newspaper "Le Figaro" reported that the shots were fired near a refugee camp. In other media, there is talk of a suspected attack on a refugee camp.

The police were called to the camp on Saturday afternoon because there were reports of a "lone perpetrator killing people". The first four people - two migrants and two security guards - are said to have been shot dead around the camp.
