[quote][url=http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30740115]A gunman has seized hostages at a kosher supermarket in Paris as police in have cornered the two Charlie Hebdo massacre suspects further north.
A police officer told the BBC that two people were killed after a gunman believed to be the killer of a policewoman in Montrouge entered the supermarket near Porte de Vincennes.
Armed police have flooded the area.
In Dammartin-en-Goele, 35km (22 miles) north-east of Paris, the Charlie Hebdo suspects are also holding a hostage.
The Islamist militants are inside a small printing business and have reportedly said they are prepared to die.
Twelve people were shot dead and 11 were injured in Wednesday's attack on the office of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine which freely mocks religion.
The unprecedented attack shocked France and there has been an outpouring of sympathy and solidarity worldwide. [/url][/quote][/spoiler]
I'm listening to live commentary right now, the current speaker says that these tragic incidents will doubtlessly be used by the far right to get their man into office during the 2017 elections.
