The mother of a 17-year-old, fatally shot by police after he refused to stop in a car, has led a march this afternoon in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre where the shooting took place. Many were wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with "Justice for Nahel". Police estimated that about 6,200 people took part. Tear gas was used at times to disperse demonstrators. The police officer who shot the teenager has been placed under formal investigation. At a press conference this morning the local prosecutor said that the prosecution considers that "the legal conditions for the use of the weapon are not met". The 38 year old officer has been charged with intentional homicide and has been remanded in custody, according to the prosecutor. At least 180 people have been arrested so far after two nights of unrest and 170 officers were injured, according to interior minister Gerald Darmanin. He said that 40,000 police officers would be deployed across France tonight. President Macron has held a crisis meeting and called the violence on the streets "unjustifiable". Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, said that "nothing justifies the violence that's occurred". She said that attacking symbols of the Republic and public facilities is "unacceptable" and asked for the de-escalation of the violence. The commune of Clamart in south-west Paris has declared a curfew from 9pm to 6am from tonight until Monday morning. Buses and trams on the RATP system in the Ile de France have been suspended from 9pm this evening until tomorrow morning. The Metro and RER networks are expected to run as normal.
