It’s believed that two gunmen are on the run following the gunfire outside an eaterie called Chez Papa on Boulevard de la Bastille.

At this point it's unclear what the cause of the shooting was, with some media speculating that it was a shootout following a 'quarrel'. 

The French capital is on high alert following the devastating terror attacks in November last year.
