The French government has said it will consider “all options” after more than 400 people were arrested across France during a third night of riots sparked by the deadly police shooting of a teenager (17) during a traffic stop

In several Paris neighbourhoods, groups of people hurled firecrackers at security forces. The police station in the city’s 12th district was attacked, while some shops were looted along Rivoli street, near the Louvre museum, and at the Forum des Halles, the largest shopping centre in central Paris. President Emmanuel Macron left early from an EU summit in Brussels, where France plays a major role in European policymaking, to return to Paris and hold an emergency security meeting.
The shooting captured on video shocked France and stirred up long-simmering tensions between police and young people in housing projects and other disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Nahel’s mother, identified as Mounia M, told France 5 television she is angry at the officer who killed her only child but not the police in general.
Nahel’s grandmother, who was not identified by name, told Algerian television Ennahar TV her family has roots in Algeria. But some increasingly vocal groups argue that this consensus conceals widespread discrimination and racism.
