Photographer critical as manhunt seeks Paris gunman

A massive manhunt was under way in Paris, a day after a gunman shot and critically wounded a photographer at the offices of a major newspaper before opening fire outside a bank headquarters and hijacking a car.

Investigators have so far been unable to identify the gunman — described as white and aged between 35 and 45 — and branded a “real danger” by interior minister Manuel Valls.

A police source said about 400 calls had come in following an appeal for information from the public. “Of these 120 have been taken seriously and are being followed up.”
