The death has stirred up simmering tensions between police and youth in disadvantaged suburbs and prompted calls for an overhaul of the rules governing the use of guns by cops

The fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old outside Paris this week has set off widespread disorder in French suburbs, with protesters burning cars, garbage and buildings.
