When Le Grand Journal returned to air, the host explained, "A man shot twice in the air. He had a grenade in his hand that tourned out to be fake. The gunshots were also blanks, but we didn't know that at the moment."

Fortunately, there are no reported injuries and police were seen taking the individual into custody.

Canal Plus, which broadcasts the show tweeted that there was an incident, but "tout le monde va bien" (everyone is OK) and that they resumed the show "dans quelques instants," meaning "in just a few minutes."
