Two hostage situations are now heading into the evening hours in France as police and anti-terror forces close in on the suspects in a pair of deadly attacks that rocked Paris earlier this week.

Police are denying earlier reports that at least two people were killed after shots were fired at a kosher grocery store in eastern Paris.

That's where two suspects, one man and one woman, have reportedly taken at least five hostages.

French officials say the suspects are connected to this week's shooting death of a policewoman.

Nearby schools have been locked down and police have ordered residents to stay inside their homes.

Meanwhile in a small town north of Paris, another hostage situation is taking place involving the two gunmen connected to Wednesday's attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
