CNN —Hundreds of people marched on Monday in support of a French mayor whose house was attacked by a burning car, as the country entered a second week gripped by violent protests and riots. A large crowd in L’Haÿ-les-Roses, a suburb of Paris, showed solidarity with Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun, whose house was rammed by the vehicle early on Sunday morning. The incident injured his wife and one of his children, Jeanbrun said earlier, calling it an assassination attempt. Jeanbrun told the crowd that "democracy was attacked." The wave of protests started after a police officer shot dead Nahel Merzouk, 17, during a traffic stop.
