Hostages probably killed by gunman

A French prosecutor says four hostages who died during a siege at a Jewish supermarket were probably killed by the gunman.

The four people killed at a Jewish supermarket in Paris were "likely" killed by the gunman at the start of the hostage-taking, the prosecutor leading the investigation said.

Pointing to the "state of the bodies" and gunman Amedy Coulibaly's own remarks in an French television interview from the scene, prosecutor Francois Molins said it seemed "no hostage was killed during the assault" by police that ended the siege.
