Marseille - Three people were killed when a gang of about a dozen hooded men attacked a pub in the southern French city of Marseille, judicial sources said on Wednesday.
The attack occurred late on Tuesday when the group of heavily armed men entered the pub and opened fire on the occupants, killing two immediately. The third victim died later in hospital.
One of the dead has been identified as a known gangland criminal who was recently released from detention.
Police assume revenge was the motive for the killings.
