A French police officer who swapped himself for a hostage in a supermarket siege on Friday has died, officials say.
Lt-Col Arnaud Beltrame had been hailed as a hero by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The gendarme helped bring an end to a gunman's shooting spree that killed three in southern France, reports BBC.
The radical Islamist gunman, 25-year-old Redouane Lakdim, was shot dead as police brought the siege to an end.
