A four-year-old girl has been found hiding inside a British-registered car in which three bodies were discovered eight hours earlier, French police say.
The three are thought to be British, a husband and wife, and a grandmother.
The bodies were found near Lake Annecy, a popular tourist destination, on Thursday. An older girl from the family was found shot outside the car, in a critical condition.
A local cyclist was found shot dead nearby.
French police say they are shocked and baffled by the brutality of the shooting, in the middle of the afternoon, in a popular tourist region, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Annecy.
The girl found away from the car, thought to be seven or eight years old, was shot three times and seriously injured, the younger daughter, only four, hid beneath her mother, and was not even found until midnight, our correspondent says.
She must have been incredibly scared to hide and stay still for that long :( My daughter is 5 and I can only imagine the kind of situation and terror that would drive her to staying still for eight hours!
