On 24 September 1995, a mass shooting took place in Cuers, Var, France. After murdering his parents and brother in Solliès-Pont the day prior, 16-year-old Éric Borel fatally shot twelve people and injured four others in a neighbouring village before killing himself to evade arrest. The shooting in Cuers was the deadliest mass shooting in France since Abd el Maleck killed fifteen and injured nine people in Dieppe, Normandy. Both incidents were surpassed by the November 2015 Paris attacks, in which 130 people were killed.
