The grandmother of the French teenager shot dead by police during a traffic stop has pleaded with rioters to put an end to the violence, as the nation faced a sixth straight night of unrest. This, as the authorities have expressed outrage over the targeting of a mayor’s home with a burning car that injured family members.
The grandmother of 17-year-old Nahel – identified only as Nadia – said in a telephone interview with French broadcaster BFMTV, “Don’t break windows, buses ... schools. We want to calm things down.”
