A police shooting of a suspect in the city of Amadora on the outskirts of Lisbon resulted
in several consecutive nights of rioting. Violence escalated after rioters set fire to a bus, forcing the
police to increase their presence in the area. Unrest spread to the Carnaxide area of Lisbon where
the police deployed rubber bullets to disperse the rioters. There is a realistic possibility that the unrest
will spread further across Lisbon and wider Portugal as a result of police action.
