Protests erupt in Paris after fatal police shooting of teenager

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

President Macron has described the fatal shooting of a teenager by police as “inexplicable and inexcusable.”

Police officers say the 17-year-old failed to stop his car when ordered.

Overnight at least 31 people were arrested during rioting, mostly in the Paris suburb of Nanterre where the victim lived.

This report contains footage of the incident itself which some viewers may find distressing.
