Mauritius has announced a curfew in parts of the country after the shooting of a woman by a police officer prompted public unrest overnight. Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam said the curfew would take effect from 8:30pm local time (16:30 GMT) and last until 6am (02:00 GMT) in an address to the nation on Tuesday. Some schools were closed on Tuesday on the Indian Ocean island due to the turmoil, according to the Education Ministry. The curfew affects the capital Port Louis and major population centres on the popular island tourist destination, where public unrest is uncommon. Local media reported that a police sergeant was charged in connection with the shooting of 27-year-old Elodie Thomas but did not provide details on what led to the incident.
