(CNN)One police officer and an attacker have been killed in a shooting in Paris on Thursday, according to CNN affiliate BFMTV and the French Interior Ministry.

BFMTV also reports another police officer was seriously injured and an unidentified man was hit by "cross-fire" in the the Champs-Elysées area. BFMTV has not specified if the unidentified man was the attacker or a bystander.



BFMTV reported earlier that two policemen were seriously injured.
The Champs-Elysées has been closed and authorities are telling people to avoid the area. Video showed the normally busy avenue, one of the most famous streets in the world, empty of residents and tourists but teeming with security officers at 9:30 p.m.
The Champs-Elysees, a top tourist attraction in Paris, is lined with restaurants, cafes, exclusive designer boutiques and tourist shops.
At one end is the Arc de Triomphe, surrounded by a several-lane-wide roundabout, and the other end stops at the Place de la Concorde, known for its unique obelisk monument.
The presidential palace, the Elysee, is only a few blocks away.
French police tweeted, "Police intervention underway in the area of the #ChampsElysees avoid the sector and follow the instructions of the police forces."

Paris Champs Elysees shooting: Live updates after 'terrorist' gunmen open fire on police killing at least one - Mirror Online


awful news :(

"...some sources it was a terrorist attack but others claimed it was an attempted armed robbery."

Why would anyone attemp to rob cops at a stoplight?

Regardless, I wouldn't label this "terrorism" it would be radical Islamic wanna be terrorists doing typical thuggary, like gangs do here in the U.S.

For reason of the close primary race for the French presidential election I will consider this to be a possible false flag shooting by rightists trying to mimic Islamic terrorists to get a sympathy vote for Marine Le Pen.

At any rate, wither on not these are the facts of the matter, this will be the net result.

You're on to something, she's backed by Putin, and Putin is desperate for an effective Manchurian after the Trump failure.

Even though the OP's pic is from the 2015 terrorist attack, not the shooting that happened today, I'm waiting for judgement until I see a pic of the dead attacker.

Hmm ... ISIS claimed responsibility for this awfully fast. Regardless, the result may be the same.

um ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack..

And it wasn't thuggery like gangs do here in the US. Are you fucking high? You're actually trying to say gangbangers shooting each other over drug turf = Muslims killing random people for their religion is the same??


You are aware that islam WANTS TO KILL YOU because your gay...you know that, right?

Alahu akbar.

Thanks for the update 5 hours later

Gangs assasinate cops here in America, at stop lights, yes.

You literally must be high or forget the same answer I always give you when you say that exact same line: evacuate the sane Muslims then nuke the ME, or are you purposely stereotyping me as far left liberal again?

until they confirm the attackers name was trevor or something it goes on auto-muslim and we must assume this was a terrorist attack so that the media get more clicks and the bigots get more big :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

A wrong picture, BTW.

Some might think this is a smoking gun

Trump seems rather uncharacteristically jovial and triumphant about this attack :helpme

Amazing to see the liberals trying to ignore the facts. It was Muslims.

No surprise to realists because the #1 religion for killing others at present is Islam.

So much for the religion of peace.

Just wow

It's terrorism, you are so much in denial it's dangerous.

if you completely ignore christianity and USIS you would be 100% right :thumbsup

The killer was a French citizen and a criminal known to the French police. This is very similar to random police shootings in the USA. Too damn similar ...
