Alps shootings: girl, 4, found alive under bodies in back of car
A four-year old girl has been found alive after hiding for eight hours in the back of a British-registered car in France under the bodies of two shooting victims.
The girl, who has not been named, was found around midnight on Wednesday night underneath two dead women in the back of the car, a French prosecutor said. A man was found dead in the driver's seat and a second girl, believed to be six or seven, was discovered lying injured on the road near the BMW people-carrier. Police believe all five people to be members of a British family on holiday.
Local prosecutor Eric Maillaud said the girl found in the car "couldn't tell the difference between the good and the bad people". She immediately smiled and began speaking in English when a gendarme took her in his arms.
A fourth adult, a male cyclist who police believe was "in the wrong place at the wrong time", was also found dead at the scene.
Police have confirmed that the driver of the car, found slumped over the driving wheel, was a UK citizen, the BBC reported. One of the women sitting in the back was thought to be his wife, and the other is believed to be the children's grandmother.
