France Newspaper Shooting
November 19, 2013 by staff
France Newspaper Shooting, French police are hunting for a gunman suspected in a shooting Monday at a Paris newspaper office that gravely wounded a photographer, as well as three other attacks around the nation’s capital.
The motive for the attacks, which prompted heightened security at media offices and the busy Champs-Elysees shopping avenue, is unclear.
Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said authorities believe a lone gunman was involved in the shooting at the prominent daily newspaper Liberation, a similar incident at news network BFM-TV, a shooting outside French bank Societe Generale, and a brief hostage-taking.
Authorities released video footage of the suspect. Molins said he was wielding a pump-action shotgun and wearing a black vest, green shoes with white soles, and a cap. Late Monday the suspect’s image was emailed to the media to help with the manhunt.
Monday began with a gunman entering the lobby of Liberation around 10 a.m. and opening fire. A 23-year-old photographer, who works at the paper as a freelance assistant, was in intensive care after being shot near the heart and in the arm, Molins told a news conference.
