– Out of the blue

He says that there was a group of 15-16 young people who were together outside the school on Thursday night. Then a masked, tall man is said to have approached them and fired shots.
– They sat there like every day and then this happened suddenly – out of the blue.
–No one has been arrested so far in the case.
– It was just bad luck that it was exactly he who was shot, the assistance lawyer continues.
Hoping for arrest
Around him are young people, children and adults.
