Rioting in Narbonne Leaves City Bloodied in June Violence
Rioters in Narbonne beat a secret police agent to death and dragged his body from the canal after clubbing him and firing on troops.

The regiment’s commandant reportedly tore off his insignia and may have relinquished his commission. Crowds mourned near bloodstains as chalked slogans blamed the victims of the One Hundred Thirty-ninth.
