PARIS—Paris police were searching for four occupants of a car that struck a taxi and tried to crash barricades set up near the Tour de France finish line on Sunday morning, drawing police fire hours before the arrival of cyclists and spectators. Police said they didn’t suspect terrorism.
Police found the car with bullet impacts not far from the Place de la Concorde where they opened fire, according to a police official and a ranking official close to the investigation. They asked not to be identified by name because the investigation was ongoing.
The car carried two men and two women, one of whom was injured on her upper body, the ranking official said, citing a witness at a hotel where the group sought a glass of water for her. It was not immediately clear if the woman had been hit by a bullet.
