The two men suspected of attacking a newspaper in Paris have stolen a car and reportedly have several hostages.
A car chase is under way on the N2 motorway, and police sources say shots have been fired.
The car is now on the outskirts of Paris - close to Charles de Gaulle airport - and several helicopters are reportedly hovering overhead.
Sky's Ian Woods says the police focus now appears to have turned to an industrial building near to the airport.
Two people with gunshot wounds have been taken to hospital in Meaux.

Teachers in the locked down primary schools in Dammartin are trying to reassure pupils by singing nursery rhymes, according to the Guardian’s Kim Willsher.
She also reports seeing ambulances arriving at the scene and a heavy police build up.
I don’t agree with Pres Hollande politically, but I do give him credit for rushing to the Charlie building almost immediately after the slaughter.
Thank you for keeping us updated on this.
Thank you for the clarification.
I'd say everyone here is saying the same prayer. I'll be repeating it over and over as I go to sleep, which is unfortunately where I need to go now. I'd hoped this would be resolved before I went to bed but it looks like it won't. :-(
I saw a video of them standing in the middle of the street outside Charlie Hebdo’s office, shooting at police.
I forgot that I have tapes, too. I usually just watch the Fox special then the coverage the morning of 9/11 (before work). I cry every year, too. I’ll never forget that day. I was on my computer with FNC on in the background, having coffee, just like every morning and then it started. I called my mother and then my sister to let them know, but I think I also wanted to make sure they were OK, even though we were a couple thousand miles away. Of course, early on, we didn’t know where the Islamic terrorists were going to hit next - we have military bases in about 4 locations, not far from the Seattle area.
Obama would’ve needed to play golf, first.
Fox said a little earlier that there was fairly heavy rain.
Ok, I needed a laugh to relieve some of this stress before going to bed. You provided it. :-)

10.59 Michel Dutruge, the mayor of Dammartin-en-Goële, said all schools in the area were being guarded and the children kept inside, although arrangements were being made to allow them to leave soon.
He said his daughter was at her office opposite the company where one hostage is being held. All staff of companies in the area have been told to stay indoors for the time being.
With pork fat lubed bullets.
I’d only been asleep a couple of hours when my hubby woke me up saying, “I think we’re at war.” I had no idea what he was talking about as I stumbled out here to look at the tv. When I saw what was going on, I grabbed the remote and started recording.
I didn’t sleep again for another two days.
It seems unreal that all the resources of the French state could not apprehend these guys.
But they roam about at will, days and nights pass, stopping here, racing off there, making their way through highways and byways, robbing a service station, taking hostages ...
And what’s with robbing the service station for fuel and money? These guys have all the gear, and expensive banned weapons, but they don’t have a bit of cash?

11.04 Police are now taking press into the siege village of Dammartin-en-Goële in car convoys.
FNC just said the 18 year old that turned himself in was being closely interrogated; and, that there are reports that Greg can’t confirm that he is the brother-in-law of one of the brothers.
I heard on FNC yesterday that the brothers lost both parents when they were young, lived in an orphanage for some time then went to a foster home. The father at the foster home converted them to Muslim (I seem to recall, but don’t quote me, that the foster father was somewhat radical, too). I’ve been thinking about him and was wondering where he was. If the gendarmes haven’t already done so, they should bring him in as well as the Inman at their mosque (as you mentioned).
