The Charlie Hebdo gunmen were today exchanging fire with police as they held hostages on an industrial estate near a Paris airport.
At least two people are thought to have been killed and several wounded before Cherif and Said Kouachi entered business premises in the village of Dammartin-en-Goele, north-east of the capital.
But the public prosecutor deny reports there had been casualties.
The gunmen are believed to have taken one hostage with them into a storage unit, which is now surrounded by police commandos who have begun negotiations to try to secure their release.
MailOnline understands the police were initially planning to storm the premises, but have now decided to hold off.
As helicopters hovered overhead, France's Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: 'A police operation is underway.'
Flights into the nearby Charles de Gaulle international airport have been aborted due to its proximity to the siege, around five miles away.
The suspects were holed up in a small printing business named Creating Trend Discovery, a source close to the investigation said. 'It's not sure how many people are inside,' the source said.
Prior to the standoff, the suspects had hijacked a Peugeot 206 in Montagny-Sainte-Felicite from a woman who said she recognised them as the wanted men, a police source said.

The standoff was close to the same area where special police forces had been combing the countryside for the brothers.
Dozens of police had earlier pursued the brothers along the National 2 highway, ending Dammartin-en-Goele, around 7 miles from Charles de Gaulle international airport.
The dramatic development came after thousands of police and soldiers had focused their hunt for the gunmen in a nearby forest amid fears they were planning a final 'spectacular' before capture.
The search for the gunmen last night focused on a cave in a vast forest in northern France, but had turned up nothing.
The pair left behind their identity cards in the Citroen they used for the massacre – a move which appeared deliberate, intelligence specialists said
There was also no sign of the AK-47s and rocket launchers which they had earlier been seen with, suggesting they had taken them into the forest.
Police now fear they could take hostages or are planning a final 'spectacular' before capture as the search enters its third day.
As darkness fell, French Special Forces scoured the woodland 50 miles north-east of Paris, with activity focused on a cavern hundreds of feet deep for any sign of the gunmen. Locals warns the woodland was so vast that it could weeks to find them.
It came as Prime Minister Manuel Valls admitted the men were on the radar of the intelligence services and 'were likely' to have been under surveillance before the atrocity.
The brothers abandoned their car near the village of Abbaye de Longpont shortly after robbing a petrol station yesterday.

Anti-terror officers found a jihadi flag and a Molotov cocktail in the Renault Clio the gunmen hijacked to escape the French capital – and two men fitting their descriptions were seen running into the Foret de Retz, which covers an area larger than Paris.
A petrol station attendant in Villers-Cotterets told police he had seen Kalashnikovs (AK-47s) and rocket launchers in the vehicle which had sped away after the men had stolen food and water.
There are fewer than 300 residents in Longpont and armed officers were carrying out house-to-house searches as helicopters with thermal imagery equipment capable of identifying human bodies among the trees were called in.
Several roads had been sealed off and checkpoints mounted by armed police who called in armoured vehicles to provide them with 'cover' against men who have already proved to be trained marksmen.

Benoit Verdun, the manager of the Abbaye hotel in Longpont, said: 'The forest around here is enormous, so if the brothers have gone in there it will be quite a hunt.'
A cave complex several hundred feet deep was also being searched. Fleury resident Veronique La Mer, who lives within 50 yards of the cave, said: 'We are afraid. I didn't sleep at all last night.
'The police told us to stay inside in our houses. We have seen police swarming the villages all day and helicopters over our heads. These woods are huge.
'You could easily hide out here for weeks and there are lots of caves. The atmosphere in town is very strange. At 6pm the streets were deserted.'

Beatrice Le Frans, another resident, said balaclava-clad men carrying machine guns thumped on her door demanding to be let in.
'I thought they were the terrorists,' she said. 'They were trying to break down my door. But then they said they were the police. Luckily I have three grown-up sons here, otherwise I would be very scared.'
Mr Valls said France was facing a terrorist threat 'without precedent', adding: 'Because they were known, they had been followed.'
The manhunt was launched after masked gunmen stormed into the Charlie Hebdo offices and opened fire, killing eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor in France's worst terror atrocity since 1961.

Unfolding terror: A graphic showing the developments since the shootings at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris on Wednesday morning
Last night, interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said a total of nine people were now in custody and more than 90 witnesses had been interviewed.
When and why that surveillance was dropped were two of the many questions being asked yesterday as a senior American counter-terrorism official confirmed that the brothers were on the US no-fly list.
But officials were tight-lipped about what else they know about them, including whether they fought in the Middle East with extremist groups.
CNN reported that the US 'was given information from the French intelligence agency that Said Kouachi traveled to Yemen as late as 2011 on behalf of the Al Qaeda affiliate there'.
The network said Said received a variety of weapons training from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), including on how to fire weapons. It added: 'It is also possible Said was trained in bomb making.'
