French Police Kill Suspects in Charlie Hebdo Attack

 Members of the French police evacuate hostages after launching the assault at a kosher grocery store in Porte de Vincennes, eastern Paris, on Friday. At least two people were shot dead at the Jewish supermarket where five people were being held.

French police killed three gunmen who rampaged in and out of the French capital this week, ending a three-day spree of violence that shocked the nation.

Police launched simultaneous assaults Friday on gunmen who held hostages at two locations on the outskirts of Paris, and appeared to operate as a network.

As the multifront battle climaxed, police killed Said and Chérif Kouachi—the two gunmen suspected of Wednesday’s attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo. A hostage held by the brothers in the building north of Paris was rescued alive in the police raid, according to police officers familiar with the matter.

At Porte de Vincennes, on the eastern edge of Paris, police also raided a kosher grocery store where another gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, had taken several people hostage. Mr. Coulibaly, who police believe was connected to the Kouachi brothers, was killed in the assault.

  2. Now that the POS is dead, mount their heads on a pike. And bury the bodies with the all due respect they deserve; at the bottom of a public outhouse.

  4. I don't know what is more ridiculous.

    Police that have NO guns.

    or trigger happy (fusa) police that habitually shoot dogs, children with WII controllers and people rushing for medical care; and leave ILLEGAL immigrants alone.
