Again?? Another hostage situation in Paris!
An armed man took two hostages on Friday noon in Colombes in the west of Paris, a local media reported.
According to the news channel BFMTV, the hostage-taking occurred at 13:00 local time ( 1200 GMT) after an armed man entered an office of La Poste and seized two people.
The hostage-taker was a person with past convictions, and he called the police himself. But, his demands were not clear yet, it was reported.
A civil security helicopter flew over the area where a large security perimeter was set up.
The new hostage taking came after an Islamist gunman killed four hostages at a Jewish supermarket last Friday. Two brothers shot dead 12 people in an attack on the satirical paper Charlie Hebdo two days later.
