Shots were fired at police and fire crews trying to quell rioting that spread across Parisian suburbs, with youths setting fire to a car dealership and public buses in battles with riot police, officials said Thursday.
Four shots were fired at police and fire officers, without causing any injuries, said Jean-Francois Cordet, the top government official for the troubled Seine-Saint-Denis region north of Paris. But nine people were lightly injured in the overnight unrest and 177 cars torched, authorities said.
