A police officer was been killed after 'terrorist' gunmen opened fire with Kalashnikovs in Paris last night.

Shots rang out on the iconic Champs Elysees - one of the world's most prestigious boulevards - leaving one officer dead and another two injured. A passerby was also wounded.

The gunman, Karim Cheurfi, 39, was shot dead in a hail of bullets.

Meanwhile overnight an arrest warrant was issued for a second suspect - yet to be named publicly - who is being hunted.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack - but it's emerged Karim Cheurfi has a history of attacking police for which he has previously been jailed.

Last night's attack came when gunmen opened fire at a stationary police car at traffic lights, according to the French policing union.
