Some reports say the gunman who fired on them has been killed by police.

The Champs Elysees has been sealed off. France goes to the polls on Sunday in the first round of the presidential election.

There is no word on the identity of the gunman. Jihadism is a major issue in the vote after attacks claimed by so-called Islamic State.

"At least one attacker, thought ‘to have been known’ to security sources, has been shot dead"

Thought to be known?

Guess that explains the mug shot.

Stellar police work there, I must say.

AFTER the shootings, admit you knew this guy was trouble.

But did nothing about it.

UPDATE 17:15 EST: Police say they have now identified one of the attackers, and that he is an extremist previously known to the security services.
