PARIS, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Suicides, shootings, suspect killings are all on the rise in France, according to a comprehensive police log.

On average, 10 suicides take place every month in France, along with 120 shootings and 200 suspect deaths.
In addition, there are thousands of threats and fights among family members and neighbors, the newspaper reported, citing police statistics.
