| [France24] Three police were shot dead in Puy-de-Dome in central France on Wednesday after being called out to a domestic disturbance, the French Interior Ministry said in a statement. An operation is under way to find the suspect. The police officers, including a fourth who was wounded in the incident, were shot by a 48-year-old man as they attempted to rescue a woman. The three officers killed were aged 21, 37 and 45 years old, the French Interior Ministry confirmed in a statement on Wednesday. Police approached the house shortly after midnight and were targeted by gunfire. The gunman initially shot and killed one officer and wounded another, before setting fire to the house. Two further officers, responding to the scene, were then fired on and killed, according to the Clermont-Ferrand prosecutor's office. Officials said the woman had been safely rescued, and that at least seven elite tactical police officers remained on site. |
