French government: Hooded attackers ambush, fire on police in Paris suburb, wounding 4

By SPA

Paris : France’s interior minister says hooded attackers have opened fire on police, wounding four officers, AP reported.

Michele Alliot-Marie said about 30 people, some of them armed, ambushed the officers Sunday in the southern Paris suburb of Grigny. She said the officers were responding to
a call about an act of vandalism on a local bakery.

The minister’s office said three of the officers were hit in face with buckshot while another was hit in the leg and hospitalized.

Alliot-Marie said efforts were under way to identify and apprehend those involved in the ambush.
