France police officer charged after Nahel shooting - BBC News

The police officer accused of shooting dead 17-year-old Nahel M in Paris has been charged with voluntary homicide and placed under arrest.

It comes after the local prosecutor of Nanterre, where the teen lived and died, said earlier that the officer involved had been put under formal investigation for voluntary homicide.

The killing has sparked riots in cities across France as well as in Nanterre.

Meanwhile, following the violent protests, a curfew has been announced in some areas of Paris.
