- The hostage taker was Amedy Coulibaly, 32, who was responsible for shooting dead a policewoman yesterday
- In the hours after the raid, police stand guard at the store where bodies of the victims are seen lying on the floor
- An Israeli government official said 15 hostages were rescued while French president confirmed four people killed
- Series of explosions rocked the building as armed police launched their raid in the suburb Port de Vincennes
- It comes two days after Cherif and Said Kouachi massacred 12 people at the satirical magazine offices in Paris
This first chilling image shows one of the hostages caught up in the siege at the Paris kosher store lying dead after a standoff between police and the gunman ends in the deaths of four captives.
Amedy Coulibaly, who was killed in the raid, had taken several people hostage - including women and children - and was threatening to kill them if police attempted to storm the Charlie Hebdo terrorists who, at the time, were engaged in a similar standoff with police.
In the hours after the dramatic raid on the store, an Israeli government official said 15 hostages were rescued while French president Francois Hollande confirmed that four people were killed. Meanwhile police stand guard at the store, where bodies still lie on the floor.
The four captives that died were killed when the assailant entered the store and not when police tried to rescue them, according to a Paris prosecutor.
Coulibaly was also responsible for the fatal shooting of a policewoman yesterday. It has now been suggested this attack may have been an aborted attempt to attack a Jewish school.
