Enough of them...
Deport them.
EDIT : The police launched the assault and killed the man,libered the hostages.
PARIS: At least two people have been killed when a gunman opened fire at a kosher grocery store in eastern Paris on Friday and took at least five people hostage, sources told AFP.
“There are at least two dead, maybe more, but for the moment we don't know,” one source said.
The Guardian reported that employees and clients are trapped in the basement of the store. The BBC reported that the store is a Jewish shop.
The gunman is suspected of being the same man who killed a policewoman in southern Paris on Thursday, who is thought to have links to the assailants who stormed satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday.
A police official says the gunman has threatened to kill the hostages if police launch an assault on the cornered assailants.
The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the dual hostage situations, described the events as “clearly linked."
A police source had told Reuters earlier he was a member of the same jihadist group as the two suspects in the attack at weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
The police source said the man was equipped with automatic weapons. An eyewitness said that shops near the supermarket siege have been evacuated.
A police official, who was not authorized to speak about the situation, told AP the gunman opened fire in the market and declared "you know who I am."
The Guardian quoted an eyewitness to the siege as saying, “There was an individual - African - who had a Kalashnikov ... and he immediately went into the deli and he started shooting with his Kalashnikov.”
Police immediately cordoned off the area and a helicopter was flying overhead. Local media said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve was rushing to the scene.
The Guardian reported that police have named two suspects wanted in connection with the second siege at the kosher supermarket.
They are Amedy Coulibaly and Hayat Boumeddiene. Police did not specify whether both were at the scene.
Boumeddiene has been Coulibaly’s partner since 2010 and lived in his home while he was serving a prison sentence, Le Monde said.
Coulibaly knew at least one of the suspects in the Charlie Hebdo massacre, a source told AFP.
He was seen with Charlie Hebdo suspect Cherif Kouachi in 2010 during an investigation into an attempted prison break in France.
The man they were trying to break out was Algerian militant Smain Ait Ali Belkacem, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 for a bombing at the Musee d'Orsay metro station in Paris in October 1995 that left around 30 injured.
Coulibaly was convicted for his role and was well-known to anti-terrorist police.
Le Monde reported that Coulibaly and Kouachi were two of the most committed followers of convicted terrorist Djamel Beghal. Telephone conversations reveal that the pair visited Beghal’s home in the south of France.
