[The New York _Times_ reports](http://news.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/09/updates-on-the-manhunt-for-the-charlie-hebdo-suspects/?smid=tw-nytimes#distraught-but-back-to-work-at-charlie-hebdo-2 "undefined") that the shooter has taken five hostages and killed two at Hyper Casher in eastern Paris near the Porte de Vincennes. The suspect, a man named Amedy Coulibaly, is [reportedly](http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/09/us-france-shooting-montrouge-idUSKBN0KI12P20150109 "undefined") in the same terrorist cell as the two _Charlie Hebdo_ shooters currently suspected of holding a hostage in a factory northeast of Paris near Charles de Gaulle airport. There, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi have reportedly told negotiators they intend to “die as martyrs.” Coulibaly and a woman, Hayat Boumeddiene, are both wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a police office in the suburb of Montrouge on Thursday, according to a [statement](https://twitter.com/prefpolice/status/553541095012196353/photo/1 "undefined") from law enforcement officials. On Friday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls told reporters that the incidents were connected and that the shooter had communicated with the Kouachi brothers — suggesting that Wednesday’s attack might be part of a bigger plan. “The latest advances in the investigation allows us to establish a connection” between the two incidents, Valls said on Friday afternoon, while he was meeting the grief-sticken staff members of _Charlie Hebdo_, at the offices of the French daily newspaper Libération. A third suspect in the _Charlie Hebdo_ attack, [Mourad Hamyd](http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/looking-mourad-hamyd?intcid=mod-latest "undefined"), has already surrendered. The two hostage situations remain ongoing as French law enforcement officials reportedly work toward resolution. \[[_NYT_](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/10/world/europe/charlie-hebdo-paris-shooting.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3661251/hostage-kosher-deli-paris/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3661251/hostage-kosher-deli-paris/"},"headline":"Gunman Linked to Charlie Hebdo Shooters Takes Hostages at Kosher Grocery","datePublished":"2015-01-09T13:33:31.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T20:13:41.000Z","description":"He is believed to have killed a policewoman on Thursday","url":"https://time.com/3661251/hostage-kosher-deli-paris/","keywords":["France","Terrorism","paris","Charlie Hebdo"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcbc432aa394875bd/698779045f570f4dcbb14970/paris-hostage-situation-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcbc432aa394875bd/698779045f570f4dcbb14970/paris-hostage-situation-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Paris Hostage Situation","caption":"Police arrive with guns at Port de Vincennes on Jan. 9, 2015 in Paris.","creditText":"Dan Kitwood—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3661251/hostage-kosher-deli-paris/","name":"Gunman Linked to Charlie Hebdo Shooters Takes Hostages at Kosher Grocery"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The World Mourns The Paris Terror Attacks","description":"A look at how the world has united in response of the terror attacks in Paris.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/tr7uFm9a/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-01-08T22:47:43.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/tr7uFm9a.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3661251/hostage-kosher-deli-paris/","duration":"PT1M29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3661251/hostage-kosher-deli-paris/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
