An assailant opened fire on a police officer on the southern edge of Paris, killing her and injuring a nearby street sweeper before fleeing, officials and a witness said.
France's interior minister cautioned against jumping to conclusions a day after the deadly assault on a satirical newspaper that killed 12 people.
On April 23, 2020, a policewoman was shot and killed in a suburban area of Paris, France. She was responding to a domestic violence call when she was fatally shot by her partner, a fellow police officer.
The shooting involved two police officers, the victim and the perpetrator. Both were members of the Paris Police Department.
The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation. However, initial reports suggest that it may have been a domestic dispute between the two officers.
No, the policewoman was the only person injured in the shooting. The perpetrator was taken into custody by other officers on the scene.
The Paris Police Department has launched an internal investigation into the shooting and is working to improve training and support for officers dealing with domestic violence cases. Additionally, there have been calls for increased awareness and support for mental health among law enforcement officers.
