Two soldiers have been shot dead near a military base in south-west France. A third was wounded.
The soldiers, wearing their uniforms, were attempting to withdraw cash from a machine in the centre of the city of Montauban when the shooting happened.
They were shot at by a person on a scooter, wearing a helmet with a visor, who sped off after opening fire.
The attack took place near a military base housing the country's 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment.
Some 15 spent cartridges were found at the scene, police said.
A large number of police officers are involved in an extensive search for the gunman, officials have said.
Prosecutors have said that they are considering a number of possibilities, including that the shooting was the result of a personal dispute.
The incident follows another shooting, on Sunday, when a 30-year-old soldier was shot dead by an assailant on a motorcycle in a residential area of Toulouse, 29 miles (46km) south of Montauban.
The south-west of the country is home to all of France's elite airborne units.
