PARIS TERROR RAMPAGE First Pic of Paris Shooting Suspect As Footage Shows Moment AK 47 Wielding ‘ISIS Terrorist’ Killed Policeman and Wounded Three Others on The Champs-Élysées
The officers and a female tourist were gunned down in famous boulevard near the Arc de Triomphe at around 9pm local time
THIS is the first picture of a suspect wanted by cops in Paris after a Kalashnikov-wielding gunman murdered a policeman and seriously wounded two others on the Champs-Élysées last night.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack after the killer is said to have got out of a car next to a stationary police van and opened fire through the window before officers returned fire and shot him dead. A female foreign tourist was also wounded.
Three policemen have been shot – one dead – on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

The attack sparked calls for voting to be suspended in Sunday's French presidential election.
Last night, police raided a house in the eastern Paris suburb Chelles - the family home of 39-year-old suspected extremist Karim Cheurfi. A number of other raids were also carried out across the French capital.
The grey Audi allegedly used in the shooting was registered to Cheurfi, according to documents seen by the Associated Press.
Cheurfi was previously jailed for 20 years for shooting at cops in 2001 but was released early, according to reports.
He is also thought to have been known to security services for "extremist links" and is believed to have been questioned recently in Meaux, outside Paris, after “informants” told cops he was “seeking to obtain weapons to kill policemen."
Isis mouthpiece Amaq said the killer is known as Ben Yousef al-Belgiki - meaning the Belgian.
