Ahmed Koulibali took hostages in a Jewish shop shop in Paris on Friday morning. They were killed by the police in the printing house in Dammartin-en-Goële on Friday afternoon.
The anti-terrorist forces assaulted the Jewish shop at the same time and released 15 hostages. Four hostages died. Ahmed Koulibali was killed. According to the French police, he started killing the hostages before the assault.
