French President Emmanuel Macron pledged that no efforts would be spared in finding those behind the attacks, describing them as “a shock for all of us”.
According to French media BFM TV, two police vehicles were attacked by several gunmen armed with “heavy weapons.” In addition to those killed, two prison guards remain in critical condition.
The organized nature of the attack puts a spotlight on the rise in drug trafficking in France ahead of next month’s European election. The Tuesday ambush came as the French senate released a report saying the country was being “submerged” by drugs-related crime.
“The intensification of drug trafficking” in the countryside and in towns, the report warned, “can expose citizens to veritable scenes of war.”
