There are multiple reports emerging from paris. Some state that there are four people dead at the supermarket. Some say no people are dead. It has yet to be confirmed by anyone in the French Government. Additionally, even if there are dead people, their names and nationalities have not been released.

According to Reuters, at least 4 hostages at the Kosher supermarket are dead.

According to the AFP “a number” of hostages have been freed after police raided the Kosher supermarket in eastern Paris. YWN will update with a precise figure as soon as we have it. At the other hostage site in Dammartin, both gunmen were killed and their hostage freed.

Several hostages were seen leaving the Kosher market east of the French capital where a gunman was holding them after security forces stormed the place.

Explosions and gunshots were heard moments after a similar raid on the building where two brothers suspected in the Charlie Hebdo newspaper massacre were cornered.

The gunman at the market had threatened to kill those inside if the brothers were harmed. An official described the events as “clearly linked,” the Associated Press reported.

The official said several people had been wounded when the gunman opened fire in the market Friday afternoon and were able to flee and get medical care.
