Police are reportedly on high alert in southern France after a violent shootout took place in the streets of the city of Nimes.
Videos captured at the scene suggest that Kalashnikov-type assault rifles were used in the gunfight.
Repeated gunfire bursts were heard in the French city as at least two people “armed with Kalashnikovs” roamed the streets around 8:30pm local time, according to witnesses and videos they shared on social media.
