"A new report from France’s Ministry of Interior quantifies the damage done after nearly a week of protests in response to the police killing of a teen of North African heritage.

The report, obtained by the French newspaper Le Parisien, recorded 5,662 vehicle fires and more than 1,000 damaged buildings.

Since rioting first broke out on Tuesday, police have made 3,354 arrests – 1,282 of which were in the Paris metro area alone, according to the report.

More than half of those arrested had no criminal record and were not known to police prior, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said."

"STORY: The mood was somber, but defiant at a gathering in the French town of L’Hay-les-Roses one of many outside town halls across the country.

This rally was in solidarity with the town’s mayor, whose home was attacked over the weekend by rioters enraged by the police shooting of a teenager of north African descent.

The mayor himself, Vincent Jeanbrun said rioters rammed a vehicle into his home Saturday evening while his wife and children were asleep inside and set it alight."
