France Pauses Loud Police Devices at School Protests After Boy Hurt

France’s interior minister Laurent Nuñez paused police use of stun grenades — like powerful firecrackers to scatter crowds — at high-school protests. It follows Monday in Lens, where a 15-year-old lost a hand. Nuñez announced it on RTL radio until investigators clarify what happened. Police say 200 protesters threw objects; the mother says he did not pick up the grenade.
