Oh Lord... Shootings were heard today in Dammartin-en-Goelle (East of Paris). Some witnesses talk about hostage takings. This madness must end.
Jesus. Appears the ending is coming now.

Are these the original 2 terrorists or someone else ?

Because I have read that the original 2 terrorists have come out of the forest today and hijacked a car ... ?

OK.

Then the end is nigh for them. Hopefully they get the hostages out somehow safe (but previous situations like these make me not too hopeful).

Sad

On a side-note, Dammartin-en-Goelle is only a mile away from Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport and latest reports say that the terrorists have got out of their car and into some house in this town.

Various news sources say they have been identified.

Anyway, the hostage-taking is seemingly taking place in a local business.

Better said they went into the offices of a construction company in an industrial area of Dammartin-en-Goelle.

A siege is now going on ...

I just heard that two people may have been killed in an earlier shooting...I'm hoping that's inaccurate.

EDIT: Several sources now reporting 1-2 killed and as possibly as 20 injured in a shooting in the town.

EDIT 2: Trying to find them.

Haven't heard anything like that on French media.

The company apparently had 4 employees. Hope they are safe.

Eh it might be wrong. Sky News down here is saying this and they have cited Reuters yet I can't find it on the Reuters website.

The anti-terrorist prosecutor denied any casualty.

Flights from and to CdG airport have now been re-routed to avoid flying over the besieged city.

First, ingemann made it to my ignore list. Congrats, bro.

Second, it is actually a printing business that makes ensigns, posters and such. So not printing any newspaper or anything, it's just the random first building our two guys met when they got out of the road ahead of a blockade.

I just want all this to stop now. And I hope the employee (it seems there's only one, some say as much as ten, we don't really know but seems like a small business) will be safe. No more deaths.

Just read this on Reddit live feed.

'A tank that is being transported on a truck has just been spotted on the highway.'

I'm not going to speculate about what may have to do with this. Hopefully nothing.

EDIT: https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/553501773517033472/photo/1 Photo of tank.

It may take hours now. They will try to get them alive to save the hostage.

Another shooting Porte de Vincennes. It's the same guy who shot yesterday.

Will this ever stop?
