French police deny reports of attack in resort of Juan-les-Pins, confirm stampede
There has been panic in the French Mediterranean resort of Juan-les-Pins on Sunday night, after reports of gunfire.
However, sources in the French police have denied Twitter reports of an attack or a shooting, France Bleu Azur radio reported.
Police, however, confirmed there was a stampede on the town’s Louis Gallet Avenue and will review CCTV footage of the incident.
The radio reported that the noise, which led to panic, came from firecrackers or from a car with a noisy engine.
France has been shaken by a series of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL)-linked attacks since January 2015.
On July 14, 84 people were killed in Nice when a truck driven by an IS sympathizer plowed through a crowd during Bastille Day celebrations.
