French police say a man was shot and arrested during their hunt for the driver who allegedly rammed a BMW into six soldiers in a Paris suburb early Wednesday morning. The arrest was violent and police opened fire, CBS News reports. The Paris prosecutor’s office is investigating the attack as terrorism. None of the military personnel are reported to have sustained life-threatening injuries. No other people were inside the vehicle, and it was not immediately clear if the man arrested is the driver suspected in the attack or otherwise connected to the investigation.
