A policewoman was killed and a city employee was seriously hurt Thursday after a man opened fire with an automatic rifle outside Paris, police said. No link was initially established with Wednesday’s deadly attack on a satirical magazine.
The gunman was still on the run, said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who arrived at the scene at Malakoff, just south of the French capital.
The incident came on a day of mourning in France after Islamist gunmen stormed the office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, killing eight journalists, two police and two others.
One of the gunmen turned himself in and the other two are the focus of a massive manhunt. There has so far been no claim of responsibility for the massacre.
