PARIS--The shooting that killed a Paris policewoman on Thursday is being handled by anti-terrorist judges, the prosecutor's office announced.

The decision was taken "in view of the current context" following the killing of 12 people by Islamist gunmen in an attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo a day earlier, the prosecutor's office said in a statement, emphasising that no link has yet been made between the two incidents.
