France Terror: 'Hostages Taken' In Car Chase
Sky News ^ | Jan. 9, 2015 | Sky News

Posted on 01/09/2015 12:57:43 AM PST by radu

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.

Been watching this for several minutes. Chase has ended and police are surrounding what appears to be a factory.

Prayers for any hostages those thugs may have.

I am watching sky this morning as well.

So many reports are coming in. There has apparently been a shootout, with at least 2 dead and 20 injured.

This might be where they took hostages.

I’m right there with you on that.
I just hope it can be done without any hostages being killed.

Almost 90,000 terror police across France are involved in the hunt for the men<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Who knew France was so flush with “terror police”!

Either way they’re going to Hell. If they take innocents with them, it’ll be made only worse for them.

Wow...
I guess no sleep this morning. Got home two hours ago, and this broke just as I was shutting down.

From twitter:

Reports are changing so quickly, it’s hard to keep up with everything. I gather the hostages were taken were the shoot out occurred but I haven’t heard any news as to how many they think were taken. I’m not even sure if the building they’re in now is where this all happened in the first place. Like I said, it’s hard to keep up with it all.

Only one? That’s a bit of a relief. I was afraid there were several. One’s still too many though.

I’d heard the number but I hadn’t heard them all called ‘terror police’. Just that that many were looking for the thugs.
