A female police officer has been
shot dead and her colleague left
injured in the second attack to
hit Paris in less than 24 hours.
The officer, who has not been
named, died this morning
following the shooting in
Montrouge, in the south of the
city.
Her male colleague was also
injured in the attack.
Both officers had been described
by a police source as being in a
'very serious condition' after the
shooting.
It follows the massacre which
claimed 12 lives including those
of two police at the Charlie
Hebdo magazine offices on
Wednesday.
Today shots rang out in
Montrouge at the start of the
morning rush hour, with an M5
assault rifle believed to have
been used.
Witnesses saw what appeared to a
collision between two cars,
followed by two men appearing
with the weapon.
William Thomas, a 19-year-old
who lives close to this morning's
attack, said: 'I was woken up by
the first three shots.
'Then I heard someone shout
"Take That" and there were
another two shots. It was before
8am.'
The automatic gunfire was
followed by the arrival of
numerous special operations
police, accompanied by emergency
services.
A man who appeared to be of
North African origin was seen
running away from the scene. He
was thought to be wearing a
bullet proof vest.
