On TV, Smoke grenade use in Dammartin and fire weapon flashes. Assault has started.

I know it is earlier in the thread, but is Dammartin the kosher supermarket location or the Charlie Hebdo's shooters' hideout?

CH shooters.

Yep, seems they used flashbang grenades, and some detonations followed. It's calm(er) right now. Seems it's a full scale assault with GIGN officers entering through windows.

Shots preceded the flash bangs though, so that's not a good sign.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Night is falling on Dammartin, to give one more clue of what's happening, for those without a video feed.

Explosions in Paris now too. EDIT: Near the Jewish shop.

Read that there are so many armed French police deployed that they're running short on modern weapons and are having to make use of older rifles "that date back to World War II".

AFP: hostages freed in Porte de Vincennes. Not specifying if it was all of them.

One severely wounded gendarme (GIGN) in the first assault (Dammartin).

edit: The wounded gendarme has not a life-threatening injury.

Freed hostage as well in Dammartin. There was only one.

#744
Amedy Coulibaly (hostage taker in Porte de Vincennes) is reported dead.

AFP reports the brothers in Dammartin went down guns blazing by leaving the building and firing on the police forces.

They're all dead apparently. And most if not all hostages are alive. Vive la France! :frog:

You may no longer take issue with the spelling errors of others.

Try again. That was a typo, not a spelling mistake. Nice try, though.
