Breaking: Cop shot dead in Paris updated with live stream

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39662315

Two policemen have been wounded in a shooting on the Champs Elysees in Paris, French media say.
Some reports say the gunman who fired on them has been killed by police. The Champs Elysees has been sealed off.
France goes to the polls on Sunday in the first round of the presidential election.
There is no word on the identity of the gunman. Jihadism is a major issue in the vote after attacks claimed by so-called Islamic State.

Update. One policeman dead, one wounded. Two gunmen, one shot dead. Status of second unknown at this time.

They're hoping against hope it a white christian. Please, please don't let it be a Muslim.

Also bashing the President for suggesting it's an Islamic terrorist attack.
