A POLICEMAN was killed and three people injured after an AK47-wielding gunman opened fire in central Paris.
Two police officers were 'seriously injured' in the attack and officials confirmed a 'female foreign tourist' was also wounded.
Last night, police were searching the suspect's house in Chelles - an eastern Paris suburb - despite his ISIS nickname The Belgian leaking on their Amaq news agency.
It was also reported he was previously jailed for 20 years for shooting at cops in 2003, after being caught driving a stolen car - but was released early.
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."
Cops have said they are hunting a second suspect who may have been involved in the attack.
Local police advised people to avoid the area after shots were fired at around 9pm local time.
Witnesses said the attacker pulled up beside a stationery police car and fired through the window.
"He parked just behind the van and he got out with a Kalashnikov and I heard six gunshots," a witness named Chelloug said.
"I thought they were firecrackers, because we all looked around the road and there was no one.
"In fact, he was hidden behind the van and shooting at the police.
"As soon as we saw that, we all ran back inside (a building). We hid and I went up to the first floor and we saw them (the policeman) shoot him (the perpetrator)."
He added: " I was afraid. I have a two year-old girl and I thought I was going to die... He shot straight at the police officer."
President Francois Hollande said officials were "convinced" the incident is a terror attack, even before ISIS claimed responsibility.
Paris Prosecutor's anti-terror office has opened an inquiry.
“One or several attackers have been shot dead by the police. Some officers were hit but the bullets were stopped by their bulletproof vests, but two were hit.
“Nothing is being ruled out for the time being, terrorism or a criminal act."
"The shooting started shortly after 9pm, when a car stopped alongside a stationary police car.
"A man immediately got out and opened fire on the police car, fatally wounding a police officer. He also wounded a second one, it would seem very seriously."
The shooting happened near the Métro station Franklin D Roosevelt and the Marks and Spencer store on the Champs-Elysées.
It is one of the most famous streets in the world and a busy tourist hub.
Armed police and emergency services have been spotted at the scene.
French Presidential candidates Marine Le Pen and Francois Fillon have cancelled their trips tomorrow.
The attack comes just days after police arrested two men in southern Marseille with weapons and explosives who were suspected of preparing an attack to disrupt the first-round of the presidential election on Sunday.
The UK Foreign Office said: "The British Embassy is in contact with local authorities and urgently seeking further information following reports of a shooting incident on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
"You should remain vigilant and follow the advice of the local security authorities and/or your tour operator.
"If you're in the area and it is safe to do so, contact your friends and family to tell them you are safe."

THE GLOBAL ALLIANCE CRUSADE AGAINST ISLAM
It is time for a new crusade to be sure. This needs to be much bigger than a Christian crusade however. Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and indigenous tribes around the world must all ally against this common enemy and lethal threat. Islam has declared a Jihad against the entire earth and against all nations, religions and cultures. They have declared this from their own demonic mouths. Islam is now a fourth of the worlds land and population and they fully intend to finish the job. They have invaded Europe in a big way and are invading America as well. In 1970 there were 100,000 Arabs in America. Today there are 10,000,000. They are weaseling into our education, finance and government in every way. Every one of the thousands of Mosques is a Jihad fort of conquest. The Quran is much more than their Bible, it is their ideology constitution and law library of Sharia. They have no intention of blending in with the host cultures and peoples whatsoever. The Quran forbids this. Their own law book declares that we are to be either converted, submitted or killed off (murdered). They are not kidding either. This has been their way and agenda for one thousand four hundred years. Here get some education and have a little research adventure. https://search.aol.com/aol/video?q=usama++dakdoc&v_t=wscreen50-bb
This man, Usama Dakdok from Egypt will lay out the truth without reservation. He is a devout Christian whistleblower doing his best to warn the world of this virulent mortal danger to our lives and cultures. Maybe you can’t handle the horrible truth but we better because we are running out of time very fast.
In the previous papers I laid out the situation and some strategy for remedy. We need to purge our lands of these people for the most part. There are some of them who are blending well with us and want to enjoy a civilization with peace and harmony. Many have become Christians and fans of common law and democracy. But the rest, the Jihadists need to be expelled back to their homelands at Gods Speed. Everyone will do well to go online and educate themselves about this situation and I am sure most all of you will agree after that. Usama is a good place to start. If you love your children and wish for them to have a free and happy future and inherit the lands of our ancestors who entrusted them to our care, then take the first responsibility of stewardship and intercept and remedy this great danger that faces and threatens us all. Thank you and God bless you and yours. Live long and prosper, be fearless and free.
In peace and love

HOW TO PROPERLY VET A MUSLIM
Oh there is a true way to do this believe me. We want to be absolutely sure that they desire to assimilate into civilized society and mean us no harm. Every nation has an absolute right and a duty to its citizens to demand this of any immigrant. First you demand that they reject the satanic death cult of Islam. Have a BBQ handy and have them soak the Quran in starter fluid and light a match to it. They keep dousing till it is ashes. Then spit upon the ashes. If they have a prayer rug then throw that in the fire as well.
Then treat them to a pork meal. A pork chop dinner or bacon and eggs with a rasher of bacon. Then they must pledge allegiance to the country and your flag. You might also demand that they can speak your language as well. Then lastly have a series of questions to see if they mean your country and society harm. Apply a lie detector to them as you ask the questions. After all this if they pass all these tests, I believe you could safely let them enter your land and society.
If this sounds drastic to some people then you need to research the horrible history of Islam and the death and destruction this evil cult has done to humanity for the last 1400 years; 270 million people slain by the sword. They have richly earned this drastic vetting. Otherwise you can rest assured they will release hell on your part of the earth. End of story.
