The singer said he bought the gun at a flea market the day before the incident. He also said he was injured during the handling. Investigations are underway to verify his statements, as well as forensic analysis, which will determine whether the facts happened as he told investigators, based on the angle of penetration of the bullet and the remains of the powder.
The public prosecutor’s office in Mont-de-Marsan, which is in charge of the case, has opened an investigation into attempted murder.
Increased security
Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in and around the Haut-Lévêque hospital center in Pessac, where Kendji Girac was admitted and operated on yesterday. This was reported by BFMTV. Part of the main entrance gates were closed by security agents. Getting into the business is slow.
The channel’s reporters also noted that most of the caravans present at the parking lot where the events took place at dawn on Sunday near Biscarrosse had left the site. Of the 80 that had been counted at the site the previous day, only ten remained.

The seventy caravans that left would have belonged to the singer’s family or relatives. They would head towards the hospital in Pessac to be as close as possible to Kendji Girac during his hospitalization.
Manager Kendji Girac speaks
Hakim Nassouh, the manager of The Voice winner in 2014, explained to AFP that he was able to speak to the 27-year-old, who was still hospitalized on Tuesday. “He talked to me. He’s out of the woods. He is doing well,” he said.
“The operation went well,” Hakim Nassouh said on Tuesday, adding that the singer’s entourage would communicate “in due course”.
