Two Hostage Crises

The police in Dammartin-en-Goële​ killed the two suspects in the Charlie Hebdo attack and freed their hostage unharmed, officials said. In a similar raid at a Paris supermarket, several hostages were killed and some were reported to have been freed. The hostage taker, who was also killed, was described as an associate of the suspects.

Another Officer Killed

A female police officer was shot and killed in Montrouge, a suburb of Paris, on Thursday morning. Officials could not immediately confirm a link with the Charlie Hebdo killings. But the authorities said Friday that Amedy Coulibaly, the suspect in the supermarket siege, was thought to be responsible for the killing of the officer.

11 Killed in Newspaper Office

At about 11:20 a.m. Wednesday, at least two men armed with AK-47 assault rifles arrived looking for the Charlie Hebdo offices. They first went to the wrong address, but frightened witnesses waved them off. They then forced a woman entering the newspaper’s offices to let them in. The men killed a guard in the lobby and went to the second floor, where they fired at journalists in a news meeting, officials said.
