#1 It sounds like a cross fire gone awry to me. What time of day did this occur? A magnum was found, but how many round of bullet?

#2 ETA has ever been very, very careful, never, never, ever to attack French security forces since being able to use France as a rear base (or at least the French authorities only putting half their heart in catching ETA people) was vital for its survival.

It is not a question of firefights going awry: old ETA would have never opened fire to begin with. Now the French, and most specially the French policemen, are royally pissed off with ETA. No more looking the other way.
