A man has been arrested over the Toulouse shootings and another is engaged in an armed standoff with police. Three officers were injured in a shootout during the swoop on a house in the southern French city on Wednesday morning, police said.

 

Reports quoted police as saying the man barricaded inside the house had told them he wanted to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children. He was described as a French national with an Algerian mother. The man already arrested is said to be his brother.
