"A dozen officers were injured, two of them seriously, after being shot with hunting rifles fitted with lead pellets during rioting last night..."
Whoever wrote this doesn't know shinola from a shotgun.
You're absolutely right....didn't notice that. Nice catch.
Written with the authoritative voice and encyclopedic knowledge of a 'journalist'.
It was described as birdshot in the Spanish press.
Well, there are cartridges such as the CCI MiniMag, but you're probably right.
Could this genius be talking about buckshot?

Oh yes they do.
The same media that was all over the staged riots against Bush in South America but waited at least a week to even mention the French riots knows EXACTLY what a shotgun is.
Why do you think they bend so far backwards that their heads end up uncomfortably inserted where visibility dwindles to zero, with such illiterate phrases as "hunting rifles fitted with lead pellets", just to avoid using the incendiary term "shotgun"?
Just part of the game, my friend.
The same game that killed any desire, worldwide, to live in or visit New Orleans Louisiana.
The Liberals want to play, they just don't quite have the steam to pull it off.
Ignoring the French riots only prolongs the period before we have to go in and bail them out, yet again.
If the media continues in the ...head up....position for too long, there will be nothing left to save.
The Left will then be out perhaps the primary socialist ally left on the planet, and an awful lot of hot tub wine parties to boot.
