French police kill alleged gunman amid continued unrest in New Caledonia

French police shot and killed an alleged gunman in New Caledonia on Wednesday, bringing the death toll from nearly two months of chaos in the French Pacific territory to 10. The unrest began over plans to expand the electoral roll, which indigenous Kanak people fear would diminish their chances for independence, leading to widespread roadblocks, arson, and looting, and prompting Paris to deploy thousands of troops and police.
