Armed officers shot at a car that purposely drove at barriers being installed by police at the finish of the famous cycle race in Paris. Luc Poignant, a spokesman with the police, said the car escaped with its two occupants apparently unharmed after coming under fire in the Place de la Concorde, where the cyclists make their final triumphant rounds to conclude the race.

Poignant said officers were finishing setting up the barricades for the race when the car tried to crash through the barriers. Officers opened fire on the car, which ultimately drove away.
