At least 31 people have been arrested in clashes that erupted overnight Tuesday following public outrage over the shooting death of a 17-year-old motorist in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. The teen allegedly failed to comply with a police order to stop his car.
Police authorities said the situation was "contained" shortly before midnight, although tensions arising from the death of the youth, identified as Nahel M, appear to have continued through much of the night.
