Getting worse I see...

The policewoman who was shot has passed away.

They've got Kalashnikovs and rocket launchers. It's gonna be really hard.

It will probably end in a long siege, hopefully before they can shoot more people.

[BaconBacon96]

Policewoman? Was she shot by the same guys or someone else?

Believe to be someone else. Shot at a routine traffic stop along with a municipal worker in southern Paris. Could be unrelated but the fact that the shooter was wearing a bullet proof vest and had an MP5 rifle makes me suspicious.

Isn't it interesting how some accuse others of grandstanding in one thread... are doing the same thing here.

The other issue that's interesting... the word immigrant keeps coming up, weren't the brothers French-born?

I'm sorry that's really a stupid question, it really doesn't take a lot imagination to get why these two sons of immigrants is called immigrants and why a son and grandson of a immigrants like Sarkozy isn't.

Yes and that isn't a good thing. My mother is an immigrant and all of my grandparents are yet I'm not called an immigrant. These people are when they shouldn't be. Regardless of their skin colour or religion they are still French born.

*facepalm*

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.

[BaconBacon96]

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 ... ?

Yes, it's them.

How are you sure? Just curious.

[BaconBacon96]

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.

[BaconBacon96]

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.

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.

So this brings the death toll of recent events to 17. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

I think the death toll is 20. I sure hope it's the end of it all. It's been challenging.

I don't count the scumbags who did this. They aren't victims.
