Telegraph:
18.15 French police announce two hostages are being held by a gunman in a jewellery store in the southern city of Montpellier. No links have been stated to the Paris attacks.
The officer, who could not be named speaking about an ongoing situation, said the attacker has locked himself inside the downtown shop, with police ready to intervene outside.
Bad day to be an unsuccessful robber.
Thank you so much, maggief, for these stunning updates. I fear for the world...this is just the beginning. Meanwhile, as i toggle between FR and the telegraph, I’m unable to get horrible images out of my head of what is sure to come soon to our beloved country.
