2020 Avignon incident
On the 29 October 2020, a man threatened bystanders with a gun in Avignon, Vaucluse, France. He was later identified as Fabien Badaroux,[1] who claimed to be part of the far-right identitarian group Génération identitaire.[2] This could not however be independently confirmed.[3] The group itself said the man was not one of their members.[4] Badaroux had argued with a person from the Mahgreb before the attack.[5] A bystander alerted the police, and Badaroux was killed by them after an attempt to arrest him at 11.15 local time. Badaroux was a local man from Avignon, aged 33.
This incident took place on the same day as a triple killing in Nice.[2]
