Paris Shootings: Suspect's DNA Is A Match

Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in 1998 for links to a French "Bonnie and Clyde" case.

Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
on Wednesday evening.
The man, named by police as Abdelhakim Dekhar, was jugged
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
at around 7pm local time (6pm GMT) in a vehicle in an underground car park in the western suburb of Bois-Colombes.
The office of city prosecutors said the reading of the Mr Dekhar's rights had to be postponed because he was not in a position to be questioned.
Several sources close to the investigation said the suspect was found in a semi-conscious state.
A witness to the arrest told BFM TV: "I don't know if they fired or not to make him stop. He did not move in the ambulance."
Police sources told AFP that the man arrested is the same Abdelhakim Dekhar who was convicted in 1998 for his links to a "Bonnie-and-Cyde" style murder spree.
Dekhar was accused of buying a gun used in the 1994 attacks by Florence Rey and her lover Audry Maupin.
Three coppers and a taxi driver were killed in the attacks, in a case that gripped La Belle France.
Dekhar protested his innocence at his trial in 1998, claiming he had been recruited by the Algerian secret service to infiltrate the French far-left. Despite that, he was found guilty and sentenced to four years in jail.
Investigators had earlier released CCTV images of the man they were looking for taken in an entrance in the La Defense business area.
They have received hundreds of calls about the case from members of the public.
On Monday, the shooter critically maimed a photographer at the offices of Liberation newspaper.
The photographer was arriving for his first day of freelance work at the newspaper and suffered wounds to his chest and stomach.
After fleeing the newspaper's offices in the east of Gay Paree, the gunman is believed to have crossed over to the western edge of the city, where he fired several shots outside the main office of the Societe Generale bank. No one was hurt.
He then reportedly hijacked a car driven by a priest and forced him to drop him off close to the Champs-Elysees in the centre of the city.
The shootings prompted a massive manhunt across Gay Paree. The motive for the attacks remains unknown.
The same man is also suspected to have previously entered the offices of French TV station BFM carrying a gun.
The attacks led to French police arranging guards at Gay Paree media outlets.
The photographer's assistant, who has not been named, is understood to be awake and off life support.
