On the morning of Monday 5 October 2026, in the Lilattes park in Bourgoin-Jallieu (Isère), the high-school protest turns into a confrontation with law enforcement: high-school students fire firework mortars, and police officers respond with tear gas (ICI Isère, Le Dauphiné Libéré). ICI Isère also reports burning bins near the Saint-Michel roundabout, with no described link to the scene in the park.
According to ICI Isère, the roof of the Simone-Veil school, located on the edge of the park, caught fire after a mortar shot; its 128 pupils were briefly evacuated. This information appears only in that article and is not attributed to an authority there: the entry treats it as alleged. The police also say, according to ICI, that projectiles were thrown at their unmarked car and smashed its windscreen; high-school students, quoted by the Dauphiné Libéré, say that stones were thrown towards the vehicle. The intervention of this car, which drives towards the high-school students, is the subject of a linked entry.
ICI also captions a photo of the car: its windscreen was smashed “in reaction to the police officer’s threatening driving” (translated) (ICI’s wording, which does not say who broke the glass or with what).
Seven people were arrested in Bourgoin-Jallieu that day (ICI Isère); the sources read do not link these arrests to a specific scene. No police injury, complaint or judicial decision is reported as of 2026-10-07.
