Police officials in France say there has been an explosion in a bar near a Paris stadium and a shootout in a Paris restaurant.

BFM television says there were several dead in the restaurant shooting in the 10th arrondissement of the capital. Two police officials confirmed the shooting but had no information about casualties.

One of the police officials said there was a separate explosion near the Stade de France north of Paris. It was unclear if the events were linked.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be publicly named.

BREAKING NEWS: Several feared dead as Kalashnikov-wielding gunman goes on the rampage in central Paris in suspected terrorist attack not far from Charlie Hebdo shootings

There are reports that more than 10 people have been killed and at least seven wounded in central Paris after a machine wielding attacker went on a rampage.

Machine gun fire and screams were heard from inside a restaurant close to the Rue Bichat, close to where the Charlie Hebdo shootings occurred in January, at around 9pm.

French officials said there was an explosion in a bar near the Stade de France sports stadium in Paris as well as the shootout in the restaurant, but it is not known whether the attacks were linked.

...  he Telegraph's Henry Samuel reports:

"Several" shooting incidents with at least two dead and seven injured in eastern Paris. The gunmen, who used Kalashnikovs, are still at large. An eyewitness on BFMTV said that they saw at least two people dead outside the petit Cambodge restaurant in Paris 10th arrondissement. It is situated in a trendy district in eastern Paris next to the canal Saint Martin, popular with young Parisians and foreign tourists at the weekend.

A second incident is believed to have taken place near the Bataclan club, which is only a few hundred yards from the former offices of Charlie Hebdo, where 12 were killed in January.

Police have evacuated bars and restaurants in the area and cordoned off the shooting zone.  ...


'Four dead'

French newspaper Liberation reports four bodies on the ground and several more feared dead in the shooting in the 10th arrondissement.

It was described by witnesses as "like a nightmare". ...
