French media reported on Wednesday that at least 24 people have been arrested in the Hauts-de-Seine department of Paris during rallies that were sparked by the death of a 17-year-old teenager who was shot dead by the police on Tuesday. 

The teenager was shot by the police after failing to comply with an order to stop his car. He was reportedly driving a rented Mercedes and broke several traffic rules.
