The U.S. Embassy in France has released a bulletin advising American citizens to be cautious in light of the ongoing rioting and unrest that ensued after a police-involved shooting earlier this week.
Dated June 29, the bulletin acknowledges the demonstrations occurring in the greater Paris region and other major urban centers following the June 27 police shooting in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre. Reports of damage to private property and public buildings have emerged from these demonstrations.
The bulletin highlights that these ongoing demonstrations and what some have described as spontaneous protests are anticipated to persist and potentially escalate into violence. American citizens are urged to exercise vigilance in light of these circumstances.
