Paris police release photos of gunman in bid to track him down

PARIS (Reuters) - French police seeking help from the public in capturing a fugitive gunman circulated pictures of his face on Tuesday a day after he fired shots at the Paris offices of a newspaper and major bank before escaping in a hijacked car.

The man, armed with a shotgun and wearing glasses, a beige bonnet and red vest in one of the photographs taken by a mass transit surveillance camera, had yet be identified after a public call for witnesses to come forward, a police source said. Images of the gunman's face were released by the media.
