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.

French media are reporting that the female suspect initially thought to be involved in the siege was not in the grocery and that there was a second male gunman who is believed to have escaped in the assault.
I am wondering how many more potential phases to this terror attack are yet to be played out?

— Sky News Newsdesk (@SkyNewsBreak) January 9, 2015
Does make you wonder if the guy carrying the little boy is the other perp who escaped.
Telegraph:
17.41 Paris: Reports that a second gunman in the kosher grocery store was male and has escaped.
The area around the supermarket had been surrounded by police.
It is now unclear whether Amedy Coulibaly was killed in the raid.
Second gunman....is that confirmed ???
Wow. Lots of confusion as to be expected but. ..
Remember they hacked into the store video...and may have seen the second gunman.
Thanks so much for your posts on this thread. Very, very good.
They did see a second gunman....per fox.

New hostage situation at jewelry store in #Montpellier south of France. Unclear if it has any kind of link to today’s events. Early reports seem to be suggesting it could be a robbery gone wrong
What the hell...
Telegraph:

Quote A man who was at Vincennes and spoke to some of the survivors has just told RTL that the girlfriend of Amedy Coulibaly, Hayat Boumeddiene, was with him inside the Kosher supermarket.
