Police hunt gunman after Paris attacks

PARIS: A huge manhunt was under way in Paris on Tuesday for a lone gunman who shot and critically wounded a newspaper photogra-pher before opening fire outside a bank headquarters and hijacking a car.

Officers on foot and in squad cars deployed throughout the nervous city, taking up positions outside media offices, along the Champs-Elysees avenue and at entrances to stations for the underground train system, the Metro.
