Paris riots – latest: Police officer who shot teen dead under investigation for homicide as 150 arrested
The police officer who fatally shot a 17-year-old boy in a Paris suburb has been placed under formal investigation for voluntary homicide, a French prosecutor said today. The announcement came as Paris witnessed a second night of violent protests with rioters setting cars and public buildings ablaze over the fatal police shooting of teenager Nahel during a traffic stop. Police arrested 150 people overnight, with French president Emmanuel Macron condemning the violence as “unjustifiable. The epicentre of the unrest was in Nanterre, a working-class town in the western outskirts of Paris. The killing, caught on video, shocked the country and stirred up long-simmering tensions between locals and officials in disadvantaged neighbourhoods around France. Clashes first erupted on Tuesday night in and around Nanterre, following which the government deployed 2,000 police to maintain law and order. “The last few hours have been marked by scenes of violence against police stations but also schools and town halls, and thus institutions of the Republic and these scenes are wholly unjustifiable,” Mr Macron said.
