A man has been shot dead at a nudist beach in France after he allegedly shouted insults at people and performed a sex act.
The 46-year-old was gunned down at La Mama beach in the Grand parc de Miribel-Jonage on the outskirts of Lyon at 10.30am local time on Saturday.
A man, 76, shot him after he shouted insults at other beach-goers and began pleasuring himself while staring at a woman, French police said.
The two men got into an argument and the elderly nudist drew a hunting rifle and fired “at least three shots”, one of which hit the other man in the chest.
The gunman is believed to be an avid hunter who had a firearm licence, but it was not immediately clear why he took his weapon to the beach, France3 later reported.
According to the French broadcaster, his permit does not allow him to carry the weapon around freely.
Officers are investigating the incident and have launched a murder inquiry.
The victim is believed to have lived in Lyon and made the short trip to the beach on Saturday.
