Paris is suffering from two hostage situations at the same time...

A French security source said on January 9 that a hostage situation occurred in the northeast of Paris after police chased two Muslim brothers who killed 12 people on January 7. The source also said that a gunfight broke out between police and the two suspects during a car chase.

According to sources, at least one person has been taken hostage in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele, northern France, about 12 km from Charles de Gaulle International Airport. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve confirmed that a police operation is underway in the town, about 40 km from the area where police have been searching for the two suspects since January 8. Currently, five police helicopters have been dispatched to the town of Dammartin-en-Goele. Roads to the area where the incident occurred have been blocked.

The two men stole a Peugeot car that same morning in the town of Montagny Sainte Felicite, about 50 km northeast of Paris.

Reuters quoted Minister Bernard Cazeneuve as telling reporters in Paris: "We have signs of the presence of terrorists that we want to stop." Minister Cazeneuve affirmed that the police will have a series of other operational actions "in the coming hours".

The incident occurred on Highway 2 at a time when a large-scale raid on the Islamic gunmen who attacked the office of Charlie Hebdo magazine on January 7 had lasted 48 hours.

According to the Telegraph, French news agency RTL cited unconfirmed sources saying that two people were killed and 20 injured in an AK gunfight during the chase.

Helicopters brought special police to the scene.

According to Le Figaro, negotiations with the wanted suspects are underway. The newspaper also published a photo of the building where the incident is believed to be taking place on Twitter.

Security forces and helicopters are currently rushing to the scene of the gunfight.

In the latest information, according to AFP, the Paris prosecutor's office has denied that anyone was killed in the hunt for two Paris terrorist suspects. Previously, many French newspapers such as Le Monde, Le Parisien and RTL channel reported that two people were killed and 20 injured in the gunfights.

According to the latest information from the Telegraph, police surrounded the area where the suspects took hostages. The suspects were holed up in a small printing business called CTD. It is not clear how many people were inside. There were about 100 journalists standing at the scene.

The weather was cloudy, damp, rainy, foggy... Residents of Dammartin-en-Goele were asked to stay indoors. Students were temporarily banned from leaving school. People inside other buildings in the industrial zone were asked to close their doors and stay away from windows.

Because the town of Dammartin-en-Goele is only about 12 km from Charles de Gaulles Airport, French authorities decided to partially close this world-famous airport. At least two Air France flights were not allowed to land at Charles de Gaulles Airport.

According to the Mirror, French security forces have contacted two brothers who are being surrounded at the industrial complex. The two suspects have declared that they want to “die for their country”. Meanwhile, a police sniper has taken up position opposite the CTD printing factory - where the hostage taking is taking place.

On the same day, French President Franncois Hollande made a live televised speech about the hostage crisis.

CNN reports that criminal negotiators have arrived in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele to begin negotiations with two terrorists holding hostages.

The Telegraph reported that the two suspects, Cherif Kouachi and his brother Said Kouachi, were in the CTD company with a hostage. A source said the hostage being kidnapped was a woman.

Journalists were allowed closer to the kidnappers' siege, the Telegraph reports. About 1,000 children were evacuated from two nearby primary and secondary schools to a neighboring town.

7:00 p.m.Live TV footage from the scene showed several police columns entering the building where the two terrorists were holding hostages. Snipers were ready at many high positions. It is very possible that after evacuating residents and students and after attempts at communication and negotiation, the police decided to attack the terrorists to rescue the hostages...

The assumption that the police will attack the terrorists is entirely possible. The iTELE channel reported that MP Yves Albarello, a member of the hostage crisis resolution team, asserted that negotiations with the two extremists were deadlocked and meaningless. They asserted that they wanted to become “martyrs, martyrs”...

According to information, these two suspects were extremely calm and professional, showing no signs of anxiety or haste. They acted like real commandos.

19:15,According to the Telegraph, gunfire rang out in the area of ​​the building where the suspected terrorists were holding hostages. Heavy military vehicles were deployed around the area. Earlier, a Telegraph reporter took pictures of tanks, jeeps and a military truck on a bridge near the scene. However, according to a spokesman for the French Ministry of the Interior, the priority is still to negotiate with the kidnappers.

19:30:While the police siege was taking place in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele, according to the Telegraph, French media reported that a shooting and hostage taking took place in the east of Paris. It is not clear whether the perpetrators are related to the Charlie Hebdo massacre and the siege in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele.

The same gunman suspected of shooting dead a policewoman in Paris yesterday has taken hostages in a kosher supermarket in the Porte de Vincennes area of ​​eastern Paris, French radio station RTL reported. At least one person was injured.

According to RTL, the electricity in the area where the kidnapping took place was turned off. Five or six fire engines were dispatched. Two helicopters hovered overhead and a large number of police officers cordoned off the scene. Residents in the area around the Kosher supermarket were evacuated.

19:40The kidnapper was holding five hostages, including women and children, the Telegraph quoted police as saying. Police asked all residents to stay away from the scene. The kosher supermarket was on the ground floor of a building, so police could have easier access.

At 8 p.m., RTL radio reported that two hostages may have been shot dead at the Kosher supermarket. AFP reported that at least two people were killed and several hostages were injured.

French media have released a photo of the suspect in the kosher supermarket kidnapping. He is believed to be the gunman who shot dead a policewoman on the morning of January 8.
