Original Note:
There is no evidence of lethal ammunition being used anywhere during the riots. This is misinformation similar to what was said, and debunked (link 1), about Bordeaux a few days ago. The French riot police uses various non-lethal weapons for crowd control (link 2). 1) https://rue89bordeaux.com/2023/06/mort-de-nahel-les-forces-de-lordre-ont-elles-tire-a-balles-reelles-contre-les-emeutiers-a-bordeaux/ 2) https://www.lemonde.fr/en/police-and-justice/article/2023/04/06/the-weapons-french-police-use-during-protests_6021920_105.html#:~:text=The%20French%20police's%20arsenal%20of,grenades%2C%20batons%20and%20water%20cannons.
