Seven hostages were tonight held by an armed assailant inside a travel agency in Paris.

Anti-terrorist police were among those who surrounded the business in the 13th arrondissement of the French capital.

Authorities say a gunman is still on the loose, but hostages have now been freed.

A man brandishing a gun was seen running into the Asieland agency soon after 6.30pm, and is believed to have been attempting a robbery.

Too early to make any judgments about this, so I'm not.
This is just a general comment:
I imagine across many parts of Europe, it's a dangerous time to be a standard armed robber. You're going to be often mistaken as a terrorist. Surely that makes the stakes higher for crime.
