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.

I recently lived on Sint Maarten for 6 months. The Gendarmes there were heavily armed and respected. Just not enough of them.
The number of mosques has grown by 75% in the U.S. since 9/11. What's that say about us?
Some parts of South Paris are "no go zones" ... meaning heavy muslim / crime population.
They should quit forbidding the citizens arming themselves.
I remember visiting Paris in 1989 and seeing Police armed with modern rifles on the streets. I was surprised by that at the time, as I'd never seen police armed like that in the states.
It boggles the mind that the UK doesn't throw that bastard out on his ear. He's been fomenting violent jihad for years.
I don’t think Europe is a good place for muslims to start a religious war. Europeans have over a thousand years experience with them.
Maybe its a good thing that the mosques have grown by 75% now we know where to find the asshat wearing infidels
With all respect, you need to do so. The French have defeats but many victories.
Ignorant comment. Go away and STFU.
95% of French police are armed.
1—Yes, almost all French police are armed.
2—France has 19m guns, why do people here think only Americans are armed?.
FFS, the police are armed!.
95% of French police are already armed. Most with pistols.
5% aren’t.

Poor girl. On the job for 15 days. From Martinique.
I wonder if you are confusing The French Foreign Legion with The French Army led by French Government Politicians.
I tell you what, some time today I will send you a long list of French Surrenders and then you can send me a similar list of French “Army” Victories. That way we can educate each other.
Now, The French Foreign Legion I have great respect for. But, we must remember, other than their officers, the rank and file in the FFL are not French. They are from over 100 foreign countries.
