A police officer was shot dead and another seriously wounded by two Kalashnikov-wielding gunmen on the Champs Elysees in central Paris tonight.
French police said that the incident was probably a 'terrorist act' and the world famous avenue was on lockdown by 9pm.
Heavily armed officers had flooded the area and a third individual - believed to be the killer - was shot dead, according to police sources.
Reports suggest 'at least' two people were involved in the attack which took place as presidential candidates took part in a TV debate nearby before Sunday's election.

PARIS — The gunman purportedly behind a shootout that killed a police officer and wounded two others in Paris has been named as 39-year-old French citizen who lived on the outskirts of the French capital.
Although Karim Cheurfi was known to French authorities he was not on a watch list of people suspected of posing a security risk, a spokesperson for the Paris prosecutor's office said.
Earlier Friday, interior ministry spokesman Pierre Henry Brandet told radio station France Info that a shotgun and knives had been found in the suspect's car and that he had a long criminal record.
Three people from the suspect's family have been taken into custody for questioning, he added.
