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.

“In that same year, police said, Ms Boumedienne attended a suspected jihadist training camp in Cantal, a mountainous area of central France.”
So they know there’s a terrorist training camp there and they just...leave it be??
Time to video the dipping of bullets in pig fat, then discharging said rounds into the animals.
Enough is enough.
Oh no! I need to start getting ready for work, but hard to tear myself away from FR, though I still do have FNC on in the background.
I pray there aren’t more, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were.
Unbelievable, right?

I first saw the CRS packing Mini-14s in the late '80s. The French military arm at that time was the FAL, transitioning to the FMAS. The CRS was founded right after WWII and I suspect they were initially armed with M1 Carbines. If what I've heard from former Legion members applies to the CRS, M1 Carbines probably served until they were literally worn out. At that point, the FAL might have been seen as too heavy or powerful or expensive, the M16 was too closely associated with the US military in Viet Nam and the Mini-14 was a politically correct alternative. 30 years later they're still in service.
Nana, latest round, regrettably. One of incidents reported as false alarm.
Thank goodness!

Back at the first siege in Dammartin-en-Goele schools have been evacuated close to where the suspects still hold one hostage, Kim Willsher reports from the town.
The infant and primary school 500m from the printers on the outskirts of Dammartin-en-Goele was evacuated on Friday afternoon. Buses were sent to the secondary schools in the town to pick up the children. Deputy mayor Thierry Chevalier described it as a “precautionary measure”.
Valérie Desayeux arrived to pick up her 13-year-old son David, but was told to wait. “It never even crossed my mind that the two men would come here. My older son who lives in Paris alerted me when I was at work. I tried to call the school several times and was getting more and more worried. Someone from the school finally called back at lunchtime.”
There was a state of siege around the CTD (Création Tendance Découverte) printing works where the two gunmen were said to be holding a hostage. Police snipers were deployed on the rooftops of neighbouring buildings, and troops from elite commando units had surrounded the two-storey building, home to a family-run printing business.
The gunmen hijacked a grey Peugeot 206 car from a woman driver around 8.40am on Friday morning around 40 km further north and were approaching Charles de Gaulle airport on the road into Paris when they faced the heavy police controlling the roads in and out of th capital. There was an exchange of fire, according to police sources. The men then abandoned the vehicle and ran across a field into the print works.
