"A police officer was shot dead and another seriously wounded by two Kalashnikov-wielding gunmen on the Champs Elysees in central Paris tonight.

French police said that the incident was probably a 'terrorist act' and the world famous avenue was on lockdown by 9pm.

Heavily armed officers had flooded the area and a third individual - believed to be the killer - was also hurt and 'neutralised', according to police sources.

Reports suggest 'at least' two people were involved in the attack which took place as presidential candidates took part in a TV debate nearby.

thoughts with our French members tonight
 
Sky news are reporting that the french ministry says that the reason for the shooting is not confirmed. Some reports it was a robbery, while another saying that the police was targeted. So I think its a wait and see situation

Hope its cleared up soon.

#Breaking French prosecutors have opened a terrorism investigation into the Champs-Elysees attack on Paris police officers
 
I read a rumour on another forum that one of them first shot at police in 2001, well before IS was a thing. They might have gotten mixed up with the news that he'd previously said he wanted to shoot cops idk. I think IS gives these ****s a feeling of legitimacy and encouragement for preexisting hatred and anger at society.

I wonder what EU authorities are doing about these ****s who are known terrorist threats? Just waiting to see what they do and hoping they don't? I don't hear much about raids or proactive arrests. If they happen they don't make the news over here.
