French police have closed in the Paris shooting suspects on a small town in northern France, with reports a hostage situation is underway.
The French government has confirmed an operation to detain the suspects is taking place in Dammartin-en-Goele.
Flights are being cancelled and diverted at nearby Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.
Several people were reportedly earlier wounded as shots were fired in a car chase.
The operation takes place two days after 12 people were shot dead at a satirical magazine in Paris.
Reporter Natalie Powell in Paris says police have been in the region in huge numbers since the suspects were spotted on Thursday.
