The granny of the teenager killed by French police last night begged rioters to stop after a town mayor was targeted by thugs who sent a blazing car into his home.
The call came as it emerged that many of the riots were orchestrated by youngsters using secret Snapchat and TikTok accounts.
There was widespread condemnation of the attack on a city mayor which left his children, aged seven and five, terrified and his wife with a broken leg.
Disorder has broken out across the country after Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old takeaway delivery driver of Algerian descent, was shot in the chest point-blank at the wheel of a Mercedes last week.
Video footage shared online showed two police officers at his window, one with his gun pointed at the driver. As the teenager pulled forward, he fired through the windshield.
