Even as the bells of Notre Dame cathedral toll mournfully, police are searching for a gunman who killed a policewoman, wounded one of her colleagues and injured a bystander with automatic fire at a metro station in the south of the French capital today.

Flags are flying at half staff across France marking the official day of mourning….

….as authorities search for two brothers of Algerian descent who they believe were the masked gunmen who murdered a dozen people at the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo yesterday.

Police warn that Said and Cherif Kouachi, in their early thirties, are armed and dangerous and should not be approached.

They fear the brothers, who delivered pizzas in the north eastern city of Rheims, may have left the country.
