Two brothers wanted for a bloody attack on the offices of French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo were killed on Friday when anti-terrorist police stormed their hideout, while a second siege in Paris ended with the deaths of four hostages.
As police launched their assault on the print works at Dammartin-en-Goele where the two suspects had been holed up, the Kouachi brothers charged out and opened fire, according to the Paris prosecutor. They were killed in the shootout.
A man in his twenties emerged unscathed. He had hidden inside the building, unbeknown to the gunmen.
Local shop owner Monique Dagobert knows him.
“When we heard about the happy outcome, it was ‘phew’, we felt relieved. So we’re happy now, we sent a text message to him and his wife and we asked him to tell us, whenever he can, that everything is ok,” she said.
The young man had reportedly made contact with police and provided information from his hideout.
