A female police officer injured in the shooting that took place in southern Paris this morning, less than 24 hours after the terror attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, has succumbed to her injuries.
Two gunmen had injured two local police officers, including a woman, after their car was involved in a road accident. While one of the two assailants was arrested, the other fled, reported The Independent.
A car, believed to belong to the gunman, has been found by the police nearly two-and-a-half miles from the scene.
Police said that it was too early to say if the incident had any connection to the Wednesday attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine's office.
While urging the countrymen to exercise restraint, French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, too said that it was unclear if the two incidents were linked.
Another explosion was reported at a kebab shop near a mosque at Villefranche-sur-Saone in eastern France however; no causalities were reported.
