France: Shooting, hostage-taking in eastern Paris

PARIS (AP) — France's anti-terrorism prosecutor says a shooting and hostage-taking attack is underway at a kosher market on the eastern edge of Paris. A police official said there are multiple hostages and wounded at the scene.

The French president ordered the country's top security official to the scene, an official in the presidency told The Associated Press. The police official declined to be named when discussing the unfolding situation.

The events near Paris' Porte de Vincennes took place as two suspects in France's deadliest terror attack in decades were cornered near Charles de Gaulle airport.

Amedy Coulibaly (montrouge hostage) and Cherif Kouachi (charlie hebdo) know eachothers

2 dead at this location apparently.

Anyone still think that Islam isn't at war with the west?

I'm getting confused now trying to follow this story.

Can someone summarize events since 3 madmen shot 12 people please?

And who are these 2 people pictured above?

Thanks.

Don't feel bad, Krisb, I am getting confused as well.

A lot of bad things happening rather quickly

Since 2010, he has been arrested by anti-terror agencies and during a search of his home, investigators found kalashnikov ammunition.

And still walking the streets?

Unbelievable?

I'm just sick of Islam. I've had enough. All civilised countries should regard this evil cult as the enemy.

Not 3 but 2 men (the Kouachi brothers) killed 12 people at Charlie Hebdo and wounded many other.

They fled and are now in North of Paris in Dammartin holding hostages

Meanwhile their colleague Amedy Coulabaly is holding 5 hostage in Montrouge Eastern Paris, asking for the release of the Kouachi brothers

First read who the suspect is and then start spilling haterage against any religion.

Thankyou,

I thought there was 3 guys originally in the 12 person shooting no? 2 brothers and a cousin.

And who is the girl pictured above?

He's a typical black loser convert to Islam, like the killers of Lee Rigby. What more do you need?

No one has info about the girl yet,she was on the police search warrant.

On the scene at Charlie Hebdo there was only 2 men : the Kouachi brothers,although the first reports mentioned 3, it has been later on corrected. The cousin might be some accomplice but not at the scene

kris, radicalism does not represent or should be associated with any religion.

And that goes for Islam or Christian or any other one.

Sorry but have you been living in a cave since 9-11?

It's not Christians, Buddhists or Hindus responsible for almost weeky attacks on soft western targets.

Islam by its very nature radicalizes it's followers.

Wake up!
