Two new hostage situations occurred in Paris today that police say are related to Wednesday’s massacre at the officers of the Charlie Hebdo weekly newspaper that left 12 dead. A gunman took at least five hostages inside a kosher grocery store and threatened to kill them. Meanwhile, police stormed a printing plant about 25 miles outside Paris where the two gunmen suspected of Wednesday’s shooting were holding a hostage, and have killed them in the assault. The hostage was released.

The gunmen, brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, had been found at the printing warehouse by helicopters equipped with heat sensors. Security forces dropped on ropes from hovering helicopters shortly after they were located. Residents were told to stay indoors, students locked down in their schools and kept from windows and doors, and helicopters circled the town.

Moments after the Kouachi brothers were killed, police stormed the grocery store, killing the gunman that had taken at least five hostages. Senior police official Christophe Tirante said that two people had been killed in the initial assault. The remaining hostages were freed. The suspected attacker has been tentatively identified by authorities as 32-year-old Amedy Coulibaly, an associate of the Kouachi brothers who were suspected of staging Wednesday’s attack. He is also thought to be responsible for killing a police officer in a Paris suburb on Thursday morning.

The gunman, armed with automatic weapons, had threatened to kill the grocery store hostages unless police let the Kouachi brothers go, which Tirante says shows that the three suspects know each other and are linked. A terrorism investigation has been opened, as all three are believed to have joined the same jihadist group.

Ambulances rushed to the grocery store, as several people were wounded when the gunman opened fire in the store, but were able to escape. It is not known if there are more wounded inside the store. A 26-year-old woman, Hayat Boumeddiene, is being sought as an alleged accomplice of Coulibaly, and may have been in the grocery store with him. French media have identified her as Coulibaly’s wife.

One woman who worked at the store but was off work when the gunman entered said she received a call from a colleague who said only “people are shooting” before the connection was lost. She had not been able to reach him since then. She said it is a “normal grocery store,” where many people go.

Twenty-five year-old Malik Sadi, a Muslim of Algerian heritage, said that the store is kosher, but not only Jews go there. She said their neighborhood is a melting pot of Jews, Muslims and Christians. Sam Cohen, 22, a Jewish resident of Algerian heritage, said he members of the community get along well regardless of faith, but he worried that the past three day’s attacks have started a wave of endless violence.

The store’s hostages appear to be a mixture of customers and employees. One woman employed at the shop said they were targeted because they were Jewish.
