Deadly police shooting of 17-year-old sparks protests in France
police officer who shot and killed a 17-year-old driver will be investigated for voluntary homicide, following two days of fires and violent protests, prosecutors said Thursday.
France will deploy 40,000 police officers overnight to quell violence that engulfed cities and towns in the wake of the deadly police shooting, France’s interior minister said Thursday. Nahel’s surname has not been released by authorities or by his family. In earlier statements, lawyers for the family spelled the name Nael.
In a separate case, a police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old Guinean man in western France earlier this month was handed preliminary charges of “voluntary homicide,” according to a statement by the local prosecutor on Wednesday. The man was fatally shot by an officer as he allegedly tried to escape a traffic stop. The investigation is still ongoing.
