Tuesday, 30 June_French army and police cordon off the business district of La Defense near Paris after a call reports an armed man on the outskirts of a shopping center.
Police have called off the search for a suspected gunman in Paris after concluding it was a false alarm.
Armed police and soldiers were scrambled to the 'Les Quatre Temps' centre at 9.30am after a worker claimed to have seen a masked man carrying a rifle.
Shoppers were evacuated with their hands up as police searched for weapons, while nearby schools and offices were placed into lockdown and train stations closed.
But after two hours of searches turned up nothing, officers were told to stand down.
