PARIS, Feb 7 (Reuters) - European equities fell further on Thursday afternoon, down 2.7 percent, dropping along with U.S. futures on fresh worries over the U.S. economy after Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's biggest retailer, posted January same-store sales below expectations.

At 1328 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 2.6 percent at 1,287.21 points, with tech and auto stocks among the biggest losers.
