Authorities in several major French towns, including Strasbourg, Marseille, and Lyon, have tightened security measures in the wake of the fatal shooting of a teenager by a police officer earlier this week.
 
The Bas-Rhin department, in which Strasbourg is located, has announced the suspension of public transportation in the city.

They also extended the prohibition on retail sales and transportation of pyrotechnics, acids, chemicals, explosives, and combustible substances until Monday, as well as the possession and transit of weapons or things that may potentially be used as weapons.
