Local media and security services say at least one gunman was also shot dead in an exchange of fire.

Sousse is a popular tourist destination.

Tunisia has been on high alert since March when Islamist militants killed 22 people, mainly foreign tourists, in an attack on the famous Bardo museum in the capital Tunis.
