French authorities were bracing for another night of violent clashes Thursday over the police killing of a teenager earlier this week, after unrest spread beyond Paris’ suburbs.
The government is mobilizing 40,000 police officers across the country, including 5,000 in Paris, after clashes on Wednesday night saw groups attacking and setting fires to schools and town halls. More than 180 people were arrested.
Anger erupted on Tuesday after Nahel, 17, was shot at close range in Nanterre, a suburb west of Paris. Video posted on social media showed two police officers leaning into a car, with one of them shooting as the driver pulls away. Authorities haven’t released Nahel’s last name.
The police officer who fired the shot was referred for questioning as part of a murder investigation and is being held in detention.
