    A police officer has died and two are seriously wounded after a shooting near the Champs-Elysees boulevard in Paris.

    Isis have claimed responsibility for the attack, in which the officer was said to have been killed while in a car before the assailant was himself shot dead by police.

    French President Francois Holland said he was convinced the "cowardly killing" on the busy shopping street in the centre of the capital was an act of terrorism.

    Paris prosecutors said they had identified the suspect, but would not release his name until it had been assessed whether he acted alone. Officials said the suspect had previously been flagged as an extremist.

    The home of the dead attacker in an eastern suburb of Paris was being searched, police said.

    A police source said the shooting was very probably a “terrorist act”, according to Reuters, while other reports suggested robbery may have been the motive.

    The French interior ministry said it was too early to judge the reason behind the attack, but a counter-terrorism inquiry has been opened.

    It came just days before French voters were set to go to the polls in the first round of the presidential election.

    A witness told French television station BFM that she heard a shooting and saw a man's body on the ground, and that the area was quickly evacuated by police.

    Another reportedly said they saw a man get out of a car and begin firing a Kalashnikov rifle.

    Why Paris though, what have the French done to annoy the * more than anyone else?

    I mean I know about Algeria but that was ages ago, just seem to be getting heavy abuse for current affairs.

    Worst thing is it's driving the right wing vote in France I'm sure.

    Shame for the polis's family.
