YOUEEs Are Using Shotguns
Update: And A Hunting Rifle, Too?

Gateway Pundit has links to articles, video, and photos right here. Seventy-seven police officers have been injured, some with shotgun wounds.

The violence was more intense than during three weeks of rioting in 2005, said the official, Patrice Ribeiro. Police were shot at and are facing "genuine urban guerillas with conventional weapons and hunting weapons," Ribeiro said.

Some officers were hit by shotgun pellets, Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said. She said there were six serious injuries, "people who notably were struck in the face and close to the eyes."

They're learning. The YOUEEs were prepared for a more violent clash this time. So far sixty three vehicles and five buildings have burned and that's only after the second day. Will Sarkozy put up with three more weeks of this?

Update [Ace]: From an earlier MSNBC account, according to genghis:

"Youths were seen firing buckshot at police and reporters. A police union official said a round from a hunting rifle pierced the body armor of one officer who suffered a serious shoulder wound."

I don't see that in the current MSNBC/AP story, so perhaps they've stealth-corrected. These guys know nothing about weapons, so they may have mistaken shotguns firing solid slugs as rifle shots.
