A police officer is held in deadly shooting in riot-hit New Caledonia after Macron pushes for calm

A police officer in riot-hit New Caledonia shot and killed a man Friday after being set upon by a group of about 15 people, the territory's prosecutor said. The seventh shooting death in unrest shaking the French Pacific archipelago came hours after an emergency round-trip from Paris by French President Emmanuel Macron to de-escalate the violence.
