Very sad. Money seems to be the motive in many of these shootings. As the saying goes, "money is the root of all evil". The island police are being kept busy now especially on the French side.

This is terrible and senseless. By the way the actual bible quote is "the love of money is the root of all evil"

Sorry Bobcat, not thinking of love at the moment! You are correct.

Read the last post on this page from tripadvisor for a possible motive.

Maybe it is just me, but I do not think it best to post google translations (or other such often garbled translations) of french language posts about sensitive matters such as a death.

I agree that Google translate often gives only a very ROUGH idea of the content of a story. If no regular English story is available, it is somewhat helpful, but anything other than a general idea of content should wait until a regular translation is available.
