Paris attacks: The moment shots were fired in St Denis
5 live's Nick Garnett was in the centre of Saint Denis when shots were fired by police during an armed raid.
The raid was unfolding in the northern suburb of Paris in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
A prosecutor said a female suspect blew herself up with a suicide belt. Some reports suggest two suspects died and there were explosions and gunfire in the operation.
Five people have also been arrested.
The focus of the operation is Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged mastermind of the Islamic State-claimed attacks that killed 129 people.
