How many cases like this are in the US -daily- compared to France in the past 10 years?
The latest data I have access t shows that violent crime rate in France is that its is 2x higher than it is in the US, so your question ... A French resident is 2x more likely to be a victim of a violent crime than an American ...
One also has to take not that France does not count violent crimes recorded by the gendarmerie so the rate is higher, how much we cannot say since the government does not wish to have it made known publicly
Violent crime is more than just murders ...... go back to the drawing board .. or better yet .. just read the data in my source that comes from a review of these nationas own crime statistics

Stop pretending that USA doesn't have the highest gun crime rate, ownership and homicide rate in the world.
