Thousands march through Greek capital on anniversary of fatal police shooting

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Several thousand people have marched through central Athens on the anniversary of the fatal police shooting of a teenager in 2008. Minor violence broke out after the end of the march as youths attacked police. No injuries or arrests were reported from the clashes. Rioters threw petrol bombs and stones at riot police, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades, in the central Exarcheia district where the shooting occurred. Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old high school student, was fatally shot by a police officer, sparking days of rioting. His death remains a rallying point for annual demonstrations by left-wing and student groups that often turn violent.
