A man has been shot dead after grabbing a soldier's gun at Orly airport in Paris, the BBC reported, quoting French officials.
He was killed by the security forces in a shop after seizing the weapon in the airport's southern terminal.
The airport has been shut down after what the authorities said was an extremely serious incident and passengers not allowed to disembark.
A security operation is continuing with bomb disposal experts involved and a search for any possible accomplices.
Police also want to make sure the dead man was not wearing an explosive belt.
Orly - located 13km (8 miles) south of Paris - is the capital's second largest airport.
