PARIS -- A police officer says two hostages are being held by a gunman in a jewelry store in the southern French city of Montpellier.

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.

He said it is unclear whether the hostage-taking is related to the massacre Wednesday in Paris at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead.

According to Montpellier prosecutor Christophe Barret, quoted by Midi Libre, there is no reason to connect the siege with the events in Paris and in northern France.

just a mere coincidence.

hostages taken during “Jewelry Robbery”?

Well, you never know. Could be a jihadi looking for that perfect little something for his lady to wear under her burkha.

In all this, uh, excitement... I actually forgot about the POS-in-Chief. Just what has he had to say about what’s going on in France, or is he too busy giving shout-outs to his golf buddies and sycophant pols?

If you could get a link to our muslim-in-chief cracking jokes today, that would make a good thread in itself.

Two more excruciating years of this.

When was the last report of a jewel heist where hostages were taken? I’m sure it happens when the robbery doesn’t go as planned, but this is a Rule 39 situation.

The jeweler may or may not be Jewish, but the robber may quite possibly be Muslim and connected to terrorism. High-end robberies, along with things like credit card fraud, are one of the ways these jihadis keep their operation rolling along.

We’ll soon know if it’s a bearded subhuman savage, or an ordinary scum of a criminal.

“When was the last report of a jewel heist where hostages were taken? “

I frankly dont remember ever having been aware of a hostage situation during a jewel heist!

I hope that you will not have to repeat that question when you address the USA?

We have plenty of murderous Muslims living among us. What we have seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.
