Two men opened fire on the woman shortly after 8: 00. For the moment, it is impossible to say if these shots have a link with the attack that killed 12 people Wednesday at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo. A suspect was arrested but it is too early to say whether there is a link with the bombing carnage Wednesday against the satirical weekly. The other suspect is on the run.
