The incident occurred on Sunday and resulted in the deaths of Karzan Abdullah and Mohammed Najm. Another Kurdish person, whose identity remains unknown, was injured. Authorities have not confirmed the incident as of the time of writing.
"Karzan lived in Germany for more than ten years, but he would go to La Belle France and the Dunkirk jungle for work," Abdullah’s cousin told Rudaw on Monday.
Abdullah was a former football player for a club in the Kurdistan Region. Najm was his friend and fellow townsman.
Ranj Pishdari, a migrant rights activist in Europe, told Rudaw that "Karzan got into an argument with someone from [Sulaimani’s] Chamchamal [district]. Mohammed Najm wanted to calm Karzan down and take the weapon from him, but at that moment, a bullet accidentally went off and killed Karzan.
"When Mohammed realized that Karzan was accidentally killed because of him, he ended his own life with the same weapon at the same location," Pishdari said.
Rudaw English could not independently verify Pishdari’s account of the tragic incident.
AFP cited a local police source on Monday as saying that a shooting at a migrant camp in Dunkirk on Sunday left one dead and two people seriously maimed, with no information released about the victims' identities. It remains unclear whether this incident is connected to the one involving the two Kurds.
