Man shot dead as police hunt November Paris attack suspects

The find came several hours after they were shot at during a raid, injuring four officers, one seriously, according to reports. At least one suspect is still thought to be on the run.

It is not clear whether the dead man was one of the suspects sought in the earlier raid in the Forest neighbourhood of Brussels, the Belgian capital where several of the Paris attackers lived.

Four police officers from the French-Belgian operation were injured when they were fired at through a door, apparently with an assault weapon, French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

Forest mayor Marc-Jean Ghyssels told local media two people had barricaded themselves in a home during the raid.

Many people fled the area when they heard gunfire, and it is too early to say if some were suspects or all were just people trying to escape.

The anti-terror raid was linked to the November 13 gun and bomb attacks on a stadium, cafes and a concert hall that left 130 people dead.

Police did not expect violent resistance, indicating they were not targeting a major suspect like Salah Abdeslam, who fled Paris
