Her 8-year-old-sister escaped and was found “unharmed but in a state of shock,” Quimper prosecutor Carine Halley said in a statement on Sunday. According to the French prosecutor, the suspected shooter expressed “regret” for the killing, after being detained. “The youngest girl came running to the neighbors shouting: ‘My sister is dead, my sister is dead,’” Yannick said. Marguerite Bleuzen, the mayor of Plonévez-du-Faou, a town bordering Saint-Herbot, told BFMTV Sunday she had been made aware of a dispute between neighbors several years ago.
