A village in northwestern France where a Dutch retiree allegedly shot dead an 11-year-old British girl and gravely wounded her two parents was in shock Monday over the "abominable" violence.
Sitting in the Monts d'Aree hills in western Brittany, the isolated hamlet of Plonevez-du-Faou had been home to the British family since 2019.
The girl and her younger sister were playing on a swing as their parents barbecued nearby when a neighbor opened fire with a shotgun through a hedge, the BBC reported Monday.
