Paris Cop Dies: Police Operation Imminent

Armed police are on the scene where a police officer was shot dead in Paris and are apparently preparing for an imminent operation.

Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt says officers with dogs are there, some are putting on heavy armour, and TV news crews are being pushed back. 

Police had been called to the scene of a traffic accident involving a grey Clio at around 7.15 am when the female officer was fired at.

It happened as police were hunting for suspects involved in the deadly gun attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in the capital.
