Police say one police officer is killed and another wounded in a shooting on the Champs Elysees. PARIS—An attacker opened fire on police in Paris’ iconic Champs-Élysées shopping district Thursday night, killing one officer and wounding another before police shot and killed him. Police and soldiers sealed off the area, ordering tourists back into their hotels and blocking people from approaching the scene. French Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said on BFM television that a man came out of a car and opened fire on a police vehicle. Speaking in Washington during a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, U.S. President Donald Trump said the shooting in Paris “looks like another terrorist attack” and sent condolences to France.
