The French prosecutors' office said the counter-terrorism office had opened an inquiry. In 2015, six officers were killed by gunfire.
Police union spokesperson Yves Lefebvre from Unité SGP Police said officers were raiding the suspect's residence in Chelles, Seine-et-Marne.
The shooting happened as the country is under a state of emergency from a series of extremist attacks.
"I was in a panic, and I ran too", he said.

Police and soldiers sealed off the area, ordering tourists back into hotels and blocking people from approaching the scene. "Authorities are telling people to avoid the area after a shooting".

Earlier this week, police in Marseille arrested two men who were allegedly plotting an attack before the election, per Reuters. The shooting started during the last TV show with all 11 presidential candidates before the first round of the election on Sunday.

For more than 20 years the role of Verdi's Otello, one of the most dramatically and vocally challenging in the repertory of Italian opera, has essentially been owned by Placido Domingo. So the appearance of any new aspirant is news.
After four performances last month with Mr. Domingo, the Metropolitan Opera's production of ''Otello'' returned on Thursday night with the Russian tenor Vladimir Bogachov in the title role.
Mr. Bogachov is now much in demand as Otello, having sung the role in recent seasons with leading companies in Munich, Amsterdam, Hamburg, London and Los Angeles. He made his Met debut in 1994 as Sergei in Shostakovich's ''Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District,'' and was most recently heard as Canio in ''Pagliacci.''
His performance as Verdi's Moor was creditable. He certainly has plenty of power. In full voice his burly sound captured the character's brute force and volatility. But Mr. Bogachov lacks subtlety. He even lacks a true pianissimo. Soft passages were sung essentially in half-voice.
Otello, a proud military leader who has faced despicable prejudice in his life and prevailed, is vanquished by Desdemona's love and undone by doubts about her. These vulnerable qualities eluded Mr. Bogachov. In the climactic moment of Otello's great soliloquy in Act III, Mr. Bogachov unleashed a resounding high B-flat, a note that Mr. Domingo has to cheat on these days. But even with Mr. Domingo's much-debated transposition of one extended scene in Act II down a half-step for his recent performances, his portrayal remains the standard by which future Otellos will be judged.
Desdemona was sung by the Slovakian soprano Gabriela Benackova. This distinguished artist is 55, and her voice is losing some evenness and tonal bloom. Never the most dramatically compelling performer, she made a somewhat matronly Desdemona.Continue reading the main story
That said, her meltingly beautiful sound, especially in floated soft, high passages, is still remarkable. This was an elegant and intelligent performance.
Singing Iago was the Russian baritone Sergei Leiferkus, nobody's idea of a classic Verdi baritone. His Italian is flawed, and his sound has a bit of a Slavic nasal quality. Yet his voice is robust and resourceful. A fine musician and canny actor, he was a convincing villain.
The conductor, Mark Elder, led a surely paced account of the score. There are three more performances of ''Otello'' with this cast, the last on Dec. 2.Continue reading the main story

I liked reading about roller derby. I didn't know what roller derby was and now I am thinking I might even want to try it myself. I could understand Astrid when she and Nicole had problems. She is upset that Nicole chose Rachel over her. If you liked "Smile and Sisters" you will like this book as well. It is a graphic novel about a character going through hard times. Readers should know that there is a bit of bullying. Nicole teases Astrid about her name. There are a lot of middle school friendship problems.
