A 31-year-old French woman was shot and burned alive by her estranged husband in broad daylight, authorities said on Thursday, in a brutal killing that has stunned the country and reignited anger over femicides.
Prosecutor Frédérique Porterie said in a news conference that witnesses heard screams and gunshots, then saw a woman fall to the ground with wounds in her thighs, shortly after 6 p.m. on Tuesday on a street in Mérignac, near Bordeaux. While she was on the ground, the male suspect "doused the woman with a liquid and set her on fire," Porterie said.President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
