Hundreds of police officers are searching for on-the-run Mohamed Amra, who was being taken from court to prison.
A car rammed his prison-convoy van at a toll booth near Rouen , allowing Amra to escape, before gunmen opened fire on the prison officers, killing two and critically injuring two more.
French Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti told France 24 the punishment will fit the crime.
He says everything will be done to find the perpetrators of this despicable crime.
