Shots Fired Near Marseille on Day of French Prime Minister’s Visit

PARIS — Several armed men fired shots in the air on Monday in a poor suburb of Marseille while the French prime minister, Manuel Valls, was in the city to defend the government’s local security plan, police officials said. No one was wounded.

Separately, Moussa Coulibaly, the man who attacked soldiers in the southern French city of Nice last week, was formally charged on Saturday with “attempted assassination” in relation to a “terrorist enterprise.” He has been detained indefinitely.
