December 11, 1978 - Éric Borel
Over the course of two days in September 1995, a sixteen-year-old carried out one of the deadliest mass killings in modern French history, moving from a family home to a village street and leaving fifteen people dead. The attack unfolded in rural Provence with a speed and scale that had no close precedent in the country, prompting serious examination of how such violence could emerge so suddenly and with so little warning.
From Wikipedia
On 24 September 1995, a mass shooting took place in Cuers, Var, France. After murdering his parents and brother in Solliès-Pont the day prior, 16-year-old Éric Borel fatally shot twelve people and injured four others in a neighbouring village before killing himself to evade arrest.
The shooting in Cuers was the deadliest mass shooting in France since the 1989 Luxiol massacre with fourteen deaths.
