## Reported figures

- 3 deaths
- 1 injured

## Coverage angles

The two sides report the same essential facts (three dead, one seriously injured, investigations entrusted to the gendarmerie), but the center emphasizes the toll and the prosecutor's announcement, while the right further highlights the notion of multiple "shootings" and the "bloody" nature of the night.

**Common ground**

- Three people shot dead and one seriously injured
- Incidents occurred during the night from Friday to Saturday in southern Martinique
- The investigations have been entrusted to the gendarmerie
- The circumstances remain to be clarified

**Differences**

- The right explicitly mentions multiple "shootings" and a "bloody night", an angle absent from center headlines
- The center cites the Fort-de-France prosecutor's announcement as a source, which the right does not mention in the provided excerpts
