Riots, Arson, Arrests | Paris Suburb On Boil After Arab Origin Teen’s Killing By French Police

Protesters set ablaze garbage bins and vehicles as they clashed with riot police in some Paris suburbs overnight after a 17-year-old was shot dead by police during a traffic stop on June 27 and prosecutors opened a homicide investigation. Thirty-one people were arrested in the clashes in which 40 cars were burned, mostly in Nanterre, the Paris suburb where the victim was from, interior minister Gerald Darmanin said on June 28. Burnt cars, some still spewing smoke and small flames, lined up roads in Nanterre on Wednesday morning in the aftermath of the protests. Prosecutors on Tuesday said the shooting took place after the youth failed to comply with an order to stop his car. The officer fired at the boy, who subsequently died from his wounds, it said. A video shared on social media, verified by Reuters, shows two police officers beside the car, a Mercedes AMG, with one shooting as the driver pulled away. #paris #france #nanterre #worldnews #macron n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 1:08 WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TO NAËL? 2:29 POLICE OFFICER ARRESTED FOR “HOMICIDE” 3:14 FAMILY SAYS TEEN KILLED IN “COLD BLOOD” CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
