A member of the Grosses Têtes audience shoots at Philippe Bouvard

Philippe Bouvard is the target of an assassination attempt on September 23, 1985, at the exit of the RTL studio. The attacker is a 39-year-old mentally unstable man convinced that the host is a RPR agent who came to install microphones in his home. The perpetrator of the shots had been spotted by the victim in the audience of the Grosses Têtes because he was the only spectator who never laughed.
