2012 Midi-Pyrénées shootings
The 2012 Midi-Pyrénées shootings are a series of shooting attacks in the French cities of Montauban and Toulouse.
The first attack occurred on March 11, with another on March 15. On March 19, a further attack occurred at the Ozar Hatorah Jewish day school, where at least four people (including three children) were killed. The gunman fled on a motor scooter.
Following this shooting, the French government raised Vigipirate, France's terror alert, to its highest possible level. The suspect in the killings is a 23-year-old French Muslim man named Mohammed Merah, who claimed ties to al-Qaeda.
