Summons and a suspect who flees

While they are talking with her, an individual points a gun in their direction. The soldiers then extract this woman who, like them, is in the line of fire, then, with coolness and professionalism, issue summons twice, before this man, in a drunken state, lets go of his armed. He then tries to flee, but is quickly caught by two gendarmes from the Salindroise brigade and arrested.
