As Jeanbrun's wife and children, aged 5 and 7, took flight through the back yard, they were targeted with fireworks.
Jeanbrun told Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne his wife had had surgery to a broken leg and faced a three-month rehabilitation.
"While attempting to shield them and fleeing the attackers, my wife and one of my children were hurt," the mayor said.
Jeanbrun's town hall has been the target of attack for several nights since Tuesday's shooting and has been protected with barbed wire and barricades.
"I didn’t think we'd ever live through something like this," the mayor told another bystander who wished his wife well.
