PARIS — A French policeman was slightly wounded by a gunshot on Sunday as he tried to apprehend two men who had broken into an Interior Ministry building just outside Paris, a ministry spokesman said. The circumstance are not clear yet but the most likely hypothesis is a burglary, spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said. Security has been tight in Paris since 17 people were killed in January by gunmen in attacks on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a Jewish shop. The policeman came upon the two men early in the morning as he was checking on the building in Pantin, northeast of Paris, that included a ministry garage where police cars are parked. His gun was stolen from him, the spokesman said. “There was a gun shot, the officer was slightly injured, he is hospitalized,” he said. — Reuters
