Hostage dramas over; terrorists killed PARIS (AP) — Three terrorists who seized hostages at separate locations and ignited fear across Paris were killed Friday along with at least three of their hostages as the gunmen clashed with thousands of French security forces. City officials scrambled to protect residents and tourists from further attacks, shutting down a famed Jewish neighborhood, putting schools under lock down and urging residents to stay indoors and remain vigilant.

The two police officials were not allowed to give their names to speak about the quickly developing situation. None of the officials could say what happened to the See ATTACKS | Page A4
