A policewoman has died and a civil employee is seriously hurt after a shooting in the south of Paris on Thursday morning, France24 reports.
The two people were shot near a metro station in Montrogue by a man wearing a bulletproof vest, the AFP reports. He was carrying an automatic rifle.
So far, no connection has been established between Thursday morning's shooting and Wednesday's terrorist attack at the Paris office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 dead.
France's interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the suspect was on the run, according to the AFP. It was earlier reported that the gunman had been detained.
There are also reports of an explosion at a kebab shop near a mosque in Lyon, but a link hasn't been established to Wednesday's Paris assault there either.

The French are such cowardly nitwits.
Amazing that one can miss such an obvious link.
They will take a lot of abuse, but when they get fed up finally, watch out!...................
Wonder if policewoman are allowed to carry a side arm even for self-defence?
I can guess a connection, but that would be phobic.
Hmmm, does France have a TEA Party? Amish? NRA?
reports of an explosion at a kebab shop near a mosque in Lyon, but a link hasn't been established
Maybe they were patties instead of links.................
But they are already eunuchs!
Did she have a sidearm,
and how did the gunman have an “automatic rifle” ?
Impossible. It’s illegal.
French Revolution occurred when they finally got fed up with the status quo. It doesn’t happen often, so it may happen again......................
The tragedy in Paris shows that its not Russia threatening Europe and its safety. This is a bluff, Alexei Pushkov, head of Russias parliamentary committee on foreign affairs, wrote on Twitter. The real threat comes from adherents of terror. Thats a fact.
I doubt that the police officer was armed. She was apparently investigating a traffic accident when this gunman came up and shot her and also hit a street cleaner working nearby. I wonder if the accident was staged as a trap?
The French better arm their police. They’re just sitting ducks now.
Islam trumps all man made illegality. To defend islam at all costs, even perceived! the so-called quiet form the majority of muslims is deafening
Taking out the 5x call to prayer would be a good start.
King Obie’s foreign cousins strike again?
French police are routinely armed.
