PARIS (AP) 07/06  — France’s western city of Nantes has seen a third night of tensions, with dozens of cars being torched to protest a fatal police shooting of a driver who was apparently trying to avoid an identity check.No clashes, however, between police and protesters were reported overnight, unlike previous nights.

French media said around 50 cars were burned and the facade of a local school was blackened, although it escaped serious damage.

On Thursday evening, hundreds of people marched silently to protest the death of the 22-year-old driver. His shooting sparked two nights of violence, with protesters clashing with riot police, burning cars and stores.
