Riots continue across Greece after teen killed by police

ATHENS, Greece (CNN) -- The Greek government has appealed for calm after rioting returned to cities Sunday, following a night of violence during which youths battled police across the country.

Athens and other cities were hit by the overnight violence after a member of an elite police corps shot dead a teen in the Greek capital, triggering angry protests.

The officer who fired the fatal shot has been charged with murder with malicious intent and suspended from duty, police said, adding that an autopsy on the youth is scheduled for Monday, in an effort to discern the circumstances of the shooting.

Demonstrators barricaded city streets Sunday in Athens and Thessaloniki and hurled petrol bombs as they battled with police, who fought back with tear gas in the second day of rioting. Watch youths riot in Greece »
