 Interior Minister Manuel Valls was in the southern city of Nice on Tuesday to reassure jewelers that the government still supports them. His visit came a day after hundreds gathered in a city square to support Stephan Turk, the 67-year-old jeweler who is confined to his home with an electronic bracelet after the shooting last week.
The sister of the 19-year-old who was killed says Turk shot him in the back and deserves prison.
Gun violence is relatively rare in France but jewel thefts are on the rise. A single gunman in southern France this summer made off with a $136 million cache.
