Why It Matters

A fire destroyed the house of a police officer in Auch on November 7, targeted because of his profession.

Font size

Yesterday, Saturday November 7, a fire destroyed the house of a police officer in Auch in the Gers. According to Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, the fire was of criminal origin and directly linked to the owner's profession.

Early Saturday morning, November 7, a fire broke out in Auch at the home of a police officer. The fire was brought under control by firefighters and its origin is not believed to be accidental, but criminal.

“A criminal act”

What could have been a simple house fire took a completely different turn. Yesterday evening, Saturday November 7, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez declared on social networks that the targeted home was that of a police officer and that "everything suggests that this intolerable criminal act was committed because of the profession of this police officer."

The minister promised that “all means will be used to ensure that their perpetrators are identified and brought to justice”. An act which, according to him, “demonstrates once again the incredible violence that our law enforcement agencies are too often confronted with”.

Burnt house

At this stage, the criminal trail is therefore favored by investigators. Saturday morning, November 7, the Gers firefighters were mobilized to fight a house fire on the outskirts of Auch. Despite the intervention of nineteen firefighters, the house was completely burned. The fire was brought under control and no injuries were reported.

According to the Unité zone sud union, which provides its full support to their colleague, the police officer would have been targeted by reprisals. Indeed, the union declares that this is "retaliation following a drug arrest operation in the Gers".

The investigation is ongoing and will determine the exact circumstances of this fire.

One year after the car-ramming attack on the island of Oléron: the damaged life of Jacques, the man who dreamed of returning to sea

Jacques, 70, a former marine carpenter from the island of Oléron, has not taken to the sea since November 5, 2025, when he was knocked down in La Cotinière by a driver who intentionally hit several pedestrians and cyclists. The assailant, Jean G., was indicted for seven assassination attempts. A psychiatric assessment ruled out an alienating mental disorder while confirming impaired discernment, paving the way for a trial.
