Nantes: Delivery Worker Shot After Calls for Hatred Against His Colleagues

A delivery worker was shot in the calf around midnight on the night of October 31 to November 1, 2026, in Nantes’s République district. He arrived at the university hospital emergency department after getting off a scooter whose driver quickly left; the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear, and his life is not in danger. The incident comes amid racist messages circulating online that call for ambushes targeting Black or Arab delivery workers. Uber Eats condemned the messages and sent safety advice to its couriers, while the Paris prosecutor’s office opened an investigation into incitement to racial hatred.
