A man was fatally shot at the French nudist beach known as 'La Mama' in Lyon on Saturday morning after allegedly performing a sex act in public. Both are French citizens, according to French and British media sources.
The two men, one in his mid-40s and the other in his mid-70s, came into contact after the younger of the two began hurling insults at others on the beach, Sky News reported, citing French police.
British media sources also added that the younger man performed a sex act in front of women on the beach, allegedly pleasuring himself while staring down a woman.
The older man then shot the man with a hunting rifle he owned legally. It is not clear why he took it with him to the nude beach.
France3 reported that the shooter turned himself in to police when they arrived on the scene. He has been taken into custody following a doctor's evaluation to ensure he is healthy enough to be detained.
