Manhunt: Two brothers suspected of Wednesday’s Paris massacre are holed up in a building 30 miles northeast of Paris near Charles de Gaulle airport. The Kouachi brothers may have one hostage. They are surrounded by hundreds of cops.

Another man suspected of killing a female police officer Thursday is also cornered in a Kosher market on the east side of Paris. There may be hostages in that incident as well. Investigators say the gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, has connections to the Kouachi brothers.

One of the French-born brothers is believed to have been trained by an al Qaeda offshoot in Yemen and was known to the authorities. Cherif Kouachi, 32, had served 18 months for trying to join fighters in Iraq. Both Cherif and his older brother Said, 34, were on the US no-fly list.

Despite how smoothly they operated during Wednesday’s massacre at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine, the older bother left his identity card in the getaway car that was later abandoned, allowing investigators to make an easy identification of the attackers.

France is in shock. The nation held a moment of silence at noon yesterday as bells rang, school classes stopped, and business halted. For a time last night the lights on the Eiffel Tower were turned off.

In defiance, the surviving staff of Charlie Hebdo magazine announced that they will produce their next edition on time and print a million copies instead of the usual 60,000.

Le Pen: In the wake of the massacre, publications around the world are struggling with whether to reproduce the cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo that Muslims found so offensive. Online publications BuzzFeed and The Huffington Post put them up. The Washington Post and NY Times did not. Times editor Dean Baquet said, “We have a standard that is long held and that serves us well: that there is a line between gratuitous insult and satire. Most of these are gratuitous insult.”

>Surveillance video shows that Cleveland police officers did nothing to help a 12-year old boy they had just shot in November. They stood there talking and waiting while it took eight minutes for the ambulance to arrive. About two minutes after the shooting they tackled and detained Tamir Rice’s 14-year-old sister when she tried to reach her brother. Rice died.

Liberal Leaves the Room: California Sen. Barbara Boxer, a four-term Democratic stalwart, announced that she will not run for a fifth term in 2016. She is 74. Boxer made the announcement in on odd video in which she answered questions from her grandson Zach Rodham. “I am never going to retire. The work is too important. But I will not be running for the Senate in 2016,” Boxer said. She’s known as one of the toughest members of the Senate in pursuit of Democratic ideals.

Face Time: Two adventurers have their followers on edge as they are attempting to free climb the 3,000 foot Dawn Wall on Yosemite’s El Capitan. They started on Dec. 27^th. Kevin Jorgeson, 30, and Tommy Caldwell, 36, are using no hardware, only their fingers and ropes to keep them from falling to their deaths. The Dawn Wall is considered possibly the most difficult free climb in the world and the two are hauling themselves up gripping tiny cracks in the rock face. They sleep at night in sling shelters suspended from the mountain. Presumably they have arrangements for plumbing.
