St Etienne fan shot in the head
PARIS, April 3 (Reuters) - A St Etienne fan was in a coma after being shot in the head just before a Ligue 2 game between the 10-time French champions and Grenoble on Friday.
'He still is in our hospital but we cannot give any health report,' a spokeswoman at the La Troche hospital told Reuters by telephone on Saturday.
Witnesses said a fight broke out between some 30 St Etienne fans and young people from a local housing estate shortly before the game in Grenoble.
'It is intolerable that a festive event turns into a bloody tragedy,' French sports minister Jean-Francois Lamour said in a statement on Saturday.
'I am determined to fight vigorously against violence in and around the stadiums,' he added.
