A POLICEMAN has died and two are seriously injured after at least one gunman opened fire “with an AK47” in central Paris this evening.
One suspect was killed by police following the “terror attack” at the central boulevard of the Champs-Élysé, which ISIS have claimed responsibility for.
Cops have said they are hunting a second suspect who may or may not be involved in the incident.
Local police advised people to avoid the area after shots were fired at around 9pm local time.
Witnesses said the attacker pulled up beside a stationery police car and fired through the window.
"He parked just behind the van and he got out with a Kalashnikov and I heard six gunshots," a witness named Chelloug said.
"I thought they were firecrackers, because we all looked around the road and there was no one.
"In fact, he was hidden behind the van and shooting at the police.
