The Charlie Hebdo terror suspects are holed up at an industrial building near Charles de Gaulle airport with a hostage, and have told police they are ready to "die as martyrs".
One of the "heavily armed" Kouachi brothers turned up at the printing factory wearing black combat gear and a bulletproof vest and claimed to be a police officer. He then told a worker: "Get out of here, we don't kill civilians."
Helicopters are hovering nearby and armed police officers have flooded the area, surrounding Said and Cherif Kouachi. An army tank has also been spotted.
This morning, residents of Dammartin-en-Goele were told to stay at home, switch off the lights, and stay away from their windows.
Now an evacuation of the area appears to be under way, with dozens of cars seen leaving via a road which has been sealed for most of the day.
There had been reports that two people have been killed, but Paris prosecutors insist there have been no deaths.
It is unclear where police are now negotiating with the two suspects, whose hostage is reported to be a 26-year-old man.
At least two planes have aborted landing attempts at the airport as the situation unfolds.
Meanwhile an armed man has taken hostages at a grocery store in eastern Paris, with some reports claiming it is the same person responsible for yesterday's policewoman shooting.
Police sources say the hostage taker is demanding freedom for the Kouachi brothers, and says he will kill the hostages if police storm their building. Part of the ring road around Paris has now been closed.
Sky's Robert Nisbet said the Dammartin-en-Goele operation is complex and the police are moving at a deliberately slow pace.
"What we are sensing here is no panic, they are taking this very slowly indeed. This operation is complex, this is not something they want to rush."
The stand-off follows a car chase on the N2 motorway earlier in which gunshots were fired between the men and police as their stolen car headed towards Paris.
