Clashes broke out for a second day on Saturday between police and Kurdish protesters angry at the killing of three members of their community by a gunman in Paris, France, December 24.

Cars were overturned, at least one vehicle was burned, shop windows were damaged and small fires were set near Republic Square, a traditional venue for demonstrations where Kurds had held a peaceful protest earlier.

Paris Police Chief Laurent Nunez said there had been a sudden violent turn in the protest, but it was not yet clear why.

A gunman carried out the killings at a Kurdish cultural center and nearby cafe on Friday in a busy part of Paris' 10th district, stunning a community preparing to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the unresolved murder of three activists.
