A manhunt has been launched in Paris after a gunman attacked media offices and fired outside a bank HQ.

The BBC is reporting that a man opened fire on the offices of the newspaper Liberation on Monday morning, critically injuring a photographer, 27.

The bank Societe Generale confirmed that two hours later a gunman attacked its headquarters, though no one was injured.

The same man is understood to have broken into the Paris offices of the 24-hour news channel BFMTV on Friday.

Police have now been stationed outside all the main media offices in Paris.
