Violence broke out for a second day in Paris Saturday after a deadly attack on a Kurdish community center and two businesses.
Protesters overturned vehicles, setting some of them on fire, and threw objects at police, who responded with tear gas.
Three people were killed in Friday’s attack in the city’s 10th district, with the 69-year-old male suspect saying that he was a racist who hated foreigners, Agence France Presse reported.
Protests began soon after the shootings, with demonstrators breaking car windows and setting fires. Violence resumed again on Saturday after a largely peaceful demonstration at the city’s Place de la Republique to mourn the three victims. Hundreds of Kurdish demonstrators joined French politicians, including the mayor of the 10th district, to pay tribute to the victims in Paris’ central square, where protests are usually held.
