Well the NCO made a terrible mistake, he was the armorer of his platoon and after a live exercice he keep with him a mags full of ammo in one of his pockets.
He is a member of the GCP (Para Commando Group wich is the elite force of the french paratroopers) and for the demonstration they load all their pocket with blank mags.
There is videos of the incident and the NCO after unloading a blank mag get a new one and unfortunatly it was the mag with real ammo. The first burst (3 rounds) exploded the aluminium blank fire adapter and the fragment injured some of the public, after he fire 8 other 3 rounds burst until the chief saw people laying and bleeding on the ground.
Sarkozy want heads for this accident and he didn't like the army
so in the next days, there will be a lot of good soldiers releived from the army.
The chief of the army just leave this morning.
