PARIS (Reuters) - The local headquarters of France's ruling Socialist Party in the southern city of Grenoble were targeted overnight by a dozen gunshots, party officials said on Monday, linking the act to anti-government protests and calling it "vandalism".

Investigators said bullet holes in the front of the party office were made by a 9 millimetre automatic weapon in two bursts fired at around 2300 GMT on Sunday.
