[quote]Police are attempting to track down a lone gunman who opened fire at the offices of a left-wing newspaper and a major bank in central Paris. A photographer’s assistant was injured in the dual attacks.
A helicopter was flying over Paris’ world-famous Avenue des Champs-Elysees after the shaven-haired assailant took a driver hostage in a west Parisian suburb and forced him to drive him to the central thoroughfare.
The suspect, armed with a pump action shotgun, remains at large.
"As long as this person is still on the loose and we do not know the motives, this represents a threat," Interior Minister Manuel Valls told reporters outside the offices of the daily newspaper, Liberation, in east-central Paris, where the first attack took place. "We must move fast."
Valls said the government had dispatched police to all major media organizations in Paris. President Francois Hollande, on an official visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories, said "all means" would be deployed to apprehend the suspect.
On Monday morning the gunmen charged into the headquarters of Liberation and opened fire, critically injuring the 27-year-old assistant photographer in the chest and stomach before fleeing the scene.
“He walked in, fired twice and left," Liberation managing editor, Fabrice Rousselot, said. Deputy editor-in-chief Fabrice Tassel tweeted that the victim had been hospitalized and was fighting for his life.
Rousselot said witnesses described the assailant as a short-haired man in his 40s. Police said he was "of European type", Reuters reports. French radio reports said he was dressed in a green jacket and wearing a bullet-proof vest.[/quote]
