Rioters have shot at police during a wave of violence that swept through part of the northern French town of Amiens.
Youths pulled drivers from their cars, stealing the vehicles, and burned a school and a youth centre. At least 16 officers were hurt by the time the riot ended.
At the height of the confrontation, 150 local and federal police faced the rioters. There were no arrests.
