Fusillade Toulouse (Toulouse shootings)

About 2 weeks after French President Nicolas Sarkozy made a remark that there were too many immigrants in France, four people were shot at a school in Toulouse. Nice coincidence?

I remembered staying in Toulouse for almost a year between 2001-2002. There was no violence. I believe it's still a peace and safe place to be. Toulouse is the centre of the European aerospace industry with the presence of big corporations such as Airbus, CNES's Toulouse Space Centre and the SPOT satellite system.

Back to the question: is it a coincidence that this incident happened after someone very important made a remark on immigrants ahead of France's presidential elections at the end of next month? Hard to tell...
