French police shot and killed an alleged gunman in New Caledonia on Thursday, bringing the death toll from three months of unrest in the French Pacific territory to 11, reports RFI.
Another alleged gunman was killed in similar circumstances in mid-July.
The unrest broke out over plans to expand the electoral roll, which indigenous Kanak people fear would diminish their chances for independence, leading to widespread protests, roadblocks, arson and looting.
Paris responded by deploying thousands of troops and police to the territory.
