At least two people were killed during a hostage situation Friday at a kosher grocery in Paris and the suspects believed to be responsible have been identified.
The AFP noted that authorities have said the suspects involved in taking the hostages have been identified as Amedy Coulibaly, 32, and Hayat Boumeddiene, 26. Boumeddiene is said to be the girlfriend of Coulibaly and the pair is thought to be the same people responsible for killing a policewoman on Thursday.
The latest attack comes after Wednesday’s massacre of 12 people at a satirical newspaper.
As previously reported, three gunman stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo and opened fire. One of the gunman turned himself in and police are still searching for Said and Cherif Kouachi, who they believe knew Coulibaly.
While police said the suspects know each other, they did not say whether or not the attack at the market is connected with the one Wednesday.
We will have more information as it becomes available.
