A riot police officer points at demonstrators with his gun in Athens on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2008. Demonstrators protested the fatal police shooting of 15-year-old, Alexandros Grigoropoulos in Athens on Saturday night. Riot police responded with tear gas as youths threw firebombs, rocks and other objects at them. The circumstances surrounding the shooting of the teen by a police special guard in the downtown Athens district of Exarchia are still unclear. However, the death has triggered extensive riots in cities around the country for three continuous nights, with youths burning shops, setting up flaming barricades across streets and torching cars.
