A homeless man allegedly shot by police in Los Angeles was a French national and convicted criminal, the LA Times reported Tuesday. The newspaper identified the man, killed Sunday in an incident which triggered protests, as 39-year old Charley Saturmin Robinet. LA police chief Charlie Beck said Monday that the victim, who police have not identified, tried to grab a gun from one of four officers who were trying to restrain him on the city's Skid Row homeless district.

The news appeared to catch the Clinton camp off guard as her inner circle discusses whether to accelerate the formation of a campaign organization to April or May instead of this summer, which would allow her team to have a faster, more robust response to the various charges thrown her way. Clinton was President Barack Obama's first-term secretary of state from 2009 to early 2013.

After U.S. President Barack Obama held a video conference with leaders of France, Germany, Britain, Italy and European Council President Donald Tusk, the EU said they had agreed there was a close link between sanctions and the full implementation of the Minsk ceasefire agreements in Ukraine. "Leaders will be ready to decide on further sanctions, if the Minsk agreements are further violated," an EU statement said. The United States and the EU have imposed sanctions on Russia and on Ukrainian separatist leaders over the war in eastern Ukraine.
