On Wednesday evening, three men, aged 19, 20, and 40, were seriously injured by gunfire on a street in Besançon, France.

The prosecutor's office stated that the victims' condition is no longer critical. Authorities say it is still too early to determine whether the incident is related to a revenge attack.

The exact circumstances of the shooting remain unclear, and an investigation is underway.
