In the Paris shootout, security forces stormed a supermarket near the Porte de Vincennes, in a neighborhood known as Paris's Jewish quarter, killing a gunman who was an associate of the Kouachi brothers.
A French police official says the gunman in the supermarket attack, 32-year-old Amedy Coulibaly, is believed to be the same man who shot and killed a policewoman south of Paris on Thursday.
French authorities are also seeking a woman described as Coulibaly's accomplice, Hayat Boumeddiene. Reports from the scene said she may have escaped in the confusion as other shoppers fled the store.

Before gunshots and explosions erupted Friday afternoon in Dammartin-en-Goele, French security forces said they were in contact with the Kouachi brothers, who told police negotiators they were prepared to die as martyrs. A third suspect in the attack, 18-year-old Mourad Hamyd, surrendered to police Wednesday evening but his relationship to the Kouachi brothers was not clear.
