March 15, 2012, a military base in France was hit by a drive by shooter. Two French soldiers are dead, another is wounded.

It happened near the southwestern city of Montauban.  The base is home to the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment.

Thursday’s shooter was riding a scooter.  On Sunday, March 11, a shooter riding a motorcycle in a residential area of Toulouse, 46 kilometers (29 miles) south of Montauban, shot and killed one French soldier.

Officials say they do not have a motive, but are considering that it might be a personal dispute between the shooter and the soldiers.
