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.

Just finished watching Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, one of the greatest westerns of all times. Vividest scene is Liberty Valance and his goons trashing Peabody’s newspaper for making fun of him, stuffing his own copy down his throat to make him “eat his words”. Right afterwards, Rans Stoddard faces him down and against all odds walks away alive, with Valance lying dead in the street. France believes in civility and reason in the face of barbarism. When the fanatically civilized strap on a gun and go hunting for the thugs, it gives one hope.
Fox News shows that video every year on 9/11 and make a point of saying they will do so, so people don’t forget. They have a video of a fairly accurate summary of events that happened that day they show every year. Hard to watch, but a good reminder.
I imagine they have several around the building. They just need to get the thugs to put their heads in view. That’s the outcome I’m hoping for.
Serious photoshop op with those road signs
melda Flattery @Imeldaflattery 5 police helicopters sit grounded just outside Dammartin. Weather too poor to fly.
Ha!
I just looked at that pic.
They have a freakin’ TANK DEPLOYED?!
I’m hoping and praying the snipers can get them. Lord please send them help and protect the hostage. Amen.
Are children involved in this?
Round up their immediate families and their Immans and offer to trade them for the hostage. Start from there
Local residents are asked to stay indoors, away from windows.
Well, if that is true, then the woman hostage might live, if she did not belong to the cartoon company.
I have several 8-hour video tapes from 9/11 that I recorded. I kept the VCR running 24/7 for days, going back and forth between news networks getting coverage. I still break out tape #1 each year to watch. I cry every time, just as I did that day.
FOX is right that people don’t need to forget, though it sure seems like a lot of folks have.
