This Massive Police manhunt focusing on this area north of paris and about 3 45 this morning paris time there was a roadblock set up in that area the suspects came upon it. They exchanged gunfire and they retreated into this Industrial Area where they are now cornered. Police believe they are very dangerous, of course and they are ready to die fighting.

The town in lockdown. Residents ordered to shelter in place. If you live in the town tay in your home. Children in schools are in lockdown. In a high school not far from the standoff students and teachers are trapped hunkered down. We spoke with this teacher. In the school there are about 900 persons and they say to us to stay in the high school and to be calm. But we cant because we are really scared. Reporter eyewitnesses in dammartinengoele said the brothers calmly took over the Printing Company telling people to leave saying we dont kill civilians. At Charles De Gaulle airport two runways shut down. Others allowing only takeoffs after earlier reports the kouachi brothers may be armed with a rocketpropelled grenade. Government Officials Say the standoff began when the brothers came upon a nearby police roadblock, exchanged fire and then retreated into the Printing Company. French president hollande arriving at a crisis meeting reveals his government has stopped several attempted terrorist attacks in recent weeks. But right now, the only question how will this one end . So the situation now, the focus on that standoff north of paris, but this is a rapidly expanding investigation. Police have arrested several other people held them for questioning and right now, they are investigating whether a Deadly Police shooting here in paris on the south side may be linked to this same group of radical islamic young men here in paris. This is a city and a country right now in the grip of terror. Robin. Certainly is. All right, terry, we go to the town under siege just under an hour outside paris. Blocking the roads to keep them from escaping in that direction and abcs Alex Marquardt is on the scene for us. Alex. Reporter good morning, robin. A very dramatic scene playing out in this small french town. Police have blocked all roads in and out. The highways the small side roads dropping a net on this town. There is no one in the streets except police and journalists. The town as you heard, telling residents to stay inside. Most of the schools on lockdown the students in these classrooms we spoke with one teacher who told us the students are staying away from the windows sitting on the floors watching tv and singing songs to stay calm. We are right next to a school here the shutters are closed. When we went past we heard the students chanting charlie, charlie. A reference to the attack of the employees of Charlie Hebdo. The ecole here 350 students have been evacuated. So these events are moving very quickly, a tense situation. As these police try to in the words of the interior ministry neutralize those suspects. Can you tell us more on how the suspects ended up in this area . Reporter well the suspects had been sighted about 25 miles farther away from paris from here yesterday in a wooded rural area. So thats where the s. W. A. T. Teams descended Going Village to villages house to house looking for these men. Early this morning, they hijacked a car and started driving towards paris, running into that Police Checkpoint that terry referenced. It is at that point their plan went off the rails and they turned into this town into that Industrial Zone where that small Printing Company is going in there and taking as far as we know at least one hostage. And, again, alex, roads to the airport have been blocked at this time. Reporter as far as we understand we havent seen all roads have been blocked. Charles de gaulle is the main airport in paris. What we do know all of the roads around this town this small french town where this hostage situation is playing out have been blocked. A very tight security net controlled by the gendarmerie and Assault Police restricting the flow of people in and out. As i tell you, there is no one in the streets except police and journalists. Very much a town under siege, rob robin. Thanks. We want to go to brad garrett and, brad you spent years as a Hostage Negotiator for the fbi. Very simple question, how do you negotiate with people who say they want to die. Because the key, george, is intelligence not to talk them out because these two brothers are not going to come out and put their hands up. So you keep them talking, you talk about family you talk about their life you talk about jihad, whatever they want to talk about, you engage them. During that time period youve talked to the printing shop persons. Whats the layout of this place . Who is inside it . Have they now placed mikes and cameras through micro slots inside this location so they can actually see whats going on so the whole key is maximize intel and my sense is going to be this will end up in a tactical assault but you dont want to do that until you know the maximum amount of information. What is it that could trigger that kind of an assault . We remember that in sydney a month ago when they believed some of the hostage were in danger. Thats going to be the key. Obviously if they go after the hostage or theres any belief that theyre picking up through intelligence that the hostage is in danger theyre going to go in. Now, theyve made comments george that they dont want to hurt hostages and i think thats probably right as they use the word civilians. So that is thats going to buy them more time as far as the negotiators talking with the two brothers. So i want to all im suggesting george this has to end in some tactical fortunate because i just dont see another way out of this. These individuals have shown as you said some contradictory impulse as weve heard, some reports from inside the magazine just a couple of days ago. Separated out the women from the cartoonist from the men around the editorial table. That report this morning that you just referenced that they allowed that gentleman who was a client of the printing business to walk away saying we dont kill civilians yet they are holding that hostage. Correct. But that just may be a bit of a bargaining chip. Someone that they can use to sort of stand off or buy some time because they know in reality theres no place to go. They are at the end of their rope and theyre going to talk it through and perhaps do the whole martyr thing, talk about why theyre doing what theyre doing, you know its a higher calling, its a higher order because thats what they believe im sure in their mights so let them talk about that and get them to a comfort level. The more you know and another key point, george what kind of weapons do they have in there . Do they have a rocketprotelled launcher. Its a big deal if they have it. If they have two ak47s tactic tactically you may be able to neutralize it before anyone else gets hurt. Anyone the police can put on the phone to make a difference . You have to be careful with Third Party Negotiators because that actually can trigger action depending on the relationship so might they do that at some point, yes. My sense would be theyre only going to do that if this becomes prolonged. Okay brad garrett, thanks very much. We are learning more about the suspects this morning. The two brothers with apparent ties to al qaeda and on the nofly list in the u. S. And brian ross is here in new york and has more on this side of the story. Good morning. Growing evidence of ties between the two fugitive brothers and al qaeda which, of course has issued repeated calls to his followers to attack that french magazine much of all the al qaeda groups in the world the network in yemen is considered the most active in going after western targets. Their online magazine inspire actually put the picture and name of the editor of Charlie Hebdo on its target list. And now u. S. Authorities say the elder of the two kouachi brothers, said traveled to yemen in the year 2011 and trained with al qaeda. Al qaedas goal is to have cells of followers in western countries and to carry out attacks against the west. Reporter the ties of the two brothers to terrorism were no secret. U. S. Officials say both brothers said and cherif have been on the u. S. Nofly list for years. And the younger brother was convicted of terror charges in 2005 when he tried to join al qaeda in iraq. This is not unusual in these cases to see them move from one sort of extreme behavior to another and then sort of settle on violent jihadism as an answer to what they perceive to be their problems. Reporter for all the signs of a wellplanned combatlike attack seen in the eyewitness videos the two gunmen did make mistakes. Most important was a national i. D. Card found in the getaway car they abandoned which allowed authorities to so quickly identify the two and begin the manhunt. And now theres huge interest in trying to take these two brothers alive to learn if there are more like them who are operating or believe they are operating on behalf of al qaeda and could have other plots in mind. Thats so key because you need additional intelligence to be gathered. Absolutely and this could be more than lone wolves but actually perhaps a cell because the younger brother was convict add long with a handful of others ten years ago for trying to join al qaeda in iraq. So theres great concern that there are more like them out there. And thats why they were taking their time and trying to time is on the side of the police at this point. Brian, thank you. Well bring in Martha Raddatz now down in washington. Martha, so many questions about how the brothers were able to pull this off. They had been tied to terrorists in the past. One of the brothers actually had been arrested and charged so they were on the french radar but still slipped through. How . Reporter thats something undoubtedly the French Authority also have to explain. Youre talking about a suspect who french officials knew went to yemen for training by al qaeda in 2011. 2011 is when americanborn cleric Anwar Al Awlaki was being hunted by u. S. Officials. He was considered the most dangerous terrorist in the world, was later killed by a u. S. Air strike. Now, you cant track every suspect 24 7. There are lots of people in france and elsewhere who want to join jihad but there are not that many who authorities know have been involved with terrorists and returned to the country. It seems he should have been tracked and that doesnt mean physicallying traed but electronically phones internet so a lot of questions about how they slipped through. But their background would have put at least one on u. S. Nofly lists, as well. Something u. S. Authority was have done. It would seem anyone during those years who traveled to yemen and returned to the u. S. Was certainly tracked. After we returned from there on one trip my producer had the fbi unexpectly show up at his house in virginia and wanted to know what he had done there and who he had seen george. Okay thanks very much. To Pierre Thomas also in washington this morning, of course pierre this puts all of us in mind of the threat to the homeland and seen attacks over the last months in ottawa in canada in sydney in australia and now in paris, france officials here concerned, as well. Reporter this is not some distanced threat. The fbi has been deeply concerned that the threat you see unfolding in paris right now could happen here at any time. Theres clear evidence that there are radicals here among us. This year alone, the fbi has caught a dozen or more mostly men but some women trying to join terrorists in syria and iraq including isis the people known to chop off heads. The fbi director has said repeatedly those who go and get training could return to the u. S. And strike with or without direct orders. Hes also flatly stated some radicals have probably gone and returned we dont know about. And the people who have been radicalized on the internet you can see why the fbis typically has about 100 terror investigations ongoing at any given moment. Put up alerts to Police Offices around the country. Reporter in fact the fbi is soon going to be brief Law Enforcement officials around the country about what happened in france because they want to give out best practices, lay out the terror tack continues used here. Theres intense interest in what happened there because, again, the u. S. Has so many soft targets of its own. Pierre thomas thanks very much. Our team will stay on this. Right now to amy with other top stories. Good morning. We begin with a major new proposal from president obama, free tuition at Community College for anyone willing to work for it. In a video posted online the president says the first two years of Community College should be free for, quote, responsible students who keep up their grades. Hell outline the proposal today.

Well a frightening ordeal for a Southern California family. Their little girl taken right out of her bedroom. The 3yearold was lying in bed when a man pulled off her window screen reached in and kidnapped her. The father heard the commotion and ran after the kidnapper, getting his daughter back. She was not hurt. Police later then caught the suspect. They say he had no relation to the family. It appears to have been a random attack. Well former California School accountant seen stuffing school lunch money into a bag and her bra sentenced to five years in prison. Judith oak stole nearly 2 million over a fouryear period.

A spokesman for the city hall of that town dammartinengoele, has told abc news that the suspects are holding one male hostage right now. Negotiations however, are under way. So right now while they are surrounded by a virtual army of Police Operations that has been under way for days slowly closing the noose around them right now there is a pause while negotiations are under way at the very least to get this hostage who is one of the executives of the Printing Company where they have held up. His daughter has said that she has tried to contact him. He has not responded. She says thats very unusual. Police are engaged, we can say, in negotiations with the suspects trying to resolve this without a final shootout that could end very badly for many people. They also want to get at these suspects. Robin, because they believe they may have a lot of information, obviously, going forward. Right now police are investigating this shooting that happened yesterday on the south side of paris, believe it may be linked to this same Jihadist Group so they want to resolve this through negotiations which are under way now. Terry, thank you very much. And brian ross was alluding to that earlier as well about getting the intelligence that they need because it could possibly be part of a cell. Doing all they can to keep that hostage safe. Well stay on top of this all morning long and come to you with the latest developments. We move to bill cosby. Last night brutally heckled. He had a calm response but raised eyebrows with other remarks during his set. Abcs linsey davis here with that. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning. Allegations against bill cosby first resurfaced during a standup comedy routine and last night they were mentioned again at another standup performance this time by the embattled comedian himself. For several weeks people have been clamoring for cosby to address the allegations against him and for the first time he did in the form of a joke. Bill cosby in the middle of his performance when a heckler lashes out accusing him of being a rapist. Security rushes in to escort the man out but as the audience started to boo him, cosby urges restraint telling them shhh shhh no clapping nothing. Just have patience, okay. The disruption coming minutes after cosby made a joke about a female audience member who got up from her seat during a show. Cosby asking her, where she was going . She said something along the lines of im getting a drink and do you want one . And he said no ive already got one and had a big bottle of water and then he sort of paused for a minute and said but, you know you should be careful about drinking around me and the whole audience sort of oohed. Reporter an apparent reference to the string of allegations around him that he spiked their drinks and secretary wally assaulted him. Just this sort ofshocking moment. Reporter after the show cosby releasing this statement saying quote, one outburst but over 2600 loyal, patient and courageous fans enjoyed the most wonderful medicine that exists for humankind, laughter. I thank you. Im far from finished. The backlash wasnt just inside the show. More than a hundred protesters gathered outside chanting and calling for a cosby boycott. Had has not been easy at all. But hes not a coward. Reporter meanwhile this morning his cosby show tv wife of more than eight years is facing her own firestorm after defending her costar and friend in an exclusive interview with abc news. This is not about the women. This is about the obliteration of a legacy. Reporter tweets calling Phylicia Rashads stance ludicrous and unbelievable. People are slamming your defense of bill cosby. God bless them. One and all. I mean that sincerely. Reporter based on reports from people watching his performance there was initially a varied response to bill cosbys joke including some gasps, but the majority of the crowd apparently laughed and cheered. One reporter tweeted that he talked to several fans as they exited and they all seemed to find the joke funny. Robin. All right there, linsey. We move now to fedex workers delivering misery to one family. Now weve seen drivers mishandling packages and things like this but this goes beyond that. One driver swiping their dogs. Abcs reena ninan has that story for us. Reporter canine kidnapping. Take a look as this fedex driver pulls up in front of this houston home.

So they searched the neighborhood then checked Surveillance Video. This is what they found. Heres the driver snatching the first puppy, sheila and putting her in his truck. But when he goes to swipe bruno, sheila makes a run for it. But the driver is on her tail literally scooping up the pup and driving away. Once we seen them on the video, he was like i cant believe it. Were supposed to trust these people. Reporter the family was beside itself until a fortunate twist. Then we saw your story. Reporter a vet on the opposite side of town saw the Surveillance Video on abcs houston affiliate ktrk and recognized the puppies. A client had delivered them to his office after finding them huddled together in the middle of a neighborhood street. They were in great condition. They looked happy. Theyre healthy. Very playful. I want them back. Reporter abc cameras were there when 5yearold savannah was reunited with bruno and sheila. Its not clear if the driver let the dogs go or if they escaped. Fedex ground telling us theyre taking this incident seriously and continue to work closely with authorities investigating this matter.

Well get to all that discuss ahead but the situation in paris in france right now unfolding continues to develop. I want to go straight to amy. A second hostage situation. Thats right, george. Good morning, so much to talk about. More breaking news in france. The two suspects in the paris terror attack holed up inside that industrial building northeast of paris right now, but as george just mentioned there was word coming in just moments ago there is a second hostage situation, some 20 miles away in paris. Terry, what can you tell us . Reporter there are reports right now of a hostage situation that has developed as you say just in the east of the city the port de vincennes area. This is something that has developed while we have been on the air. Reports of one hostage taken and Antiterror Police are involved in this operation, although there is no official confirmation this is linked to the kind of terror attack that has struck paris over the past couple of days. But, police have put out an allpoints bulletin searching for two suspects involved in the shooting of a policewoman yesterday on the south side of paris. Those suspects one of them a muslim male from africa. Described as armed and dangerous but right now what we can report to you is a the second hostage situation that has developed on the east side of paris, the port de vincennes neighborhood reportedly a Kosher Grocery have been been taken over a hostage taken. Breaking as we are on the air. All right, terry, we will be checking back in with you throughout the morning. Of course as we mentioned earlier this is the second hostage situation, the initial hostage situation has police and s. W. A. T. Teams swarming that area. Its an area where theyve closed roads. Theyre evacuating schools as we speak and even partially closing nearby Charles De Gaulle airport, of course one of the busiest airports in the world. That is just eight miles away from where this scene is unfolding where weve seen so much activity just outside of paris, of course so much to talk about and it is developing as we speak right here on the air. Lets go to abcs Alex Marquardt with the very latest developments. Alex, what are you hearing . Reporter good morning, amy. Well weve just spoken to someone from the town who tells us negotiations are under way with those two suspects in that Small Business which is a Printing Company. Weve been told that there is one person who is being held hostage. This is a Small Company of just five employees. The daughter of the owner whose name is michael katalan says she has not been in contact with her father which is quite rare so hasnt been confirmed he is the hostage but she has not been in contact with him. One hostage, meanwhile this town is on lockdown a very tight security net by the police all around this town. No one being allowed in or out. No one on the streets. Residents being told to stay inside as well as students who have been told to stay inside their schools, but gradually throughout the course of the morning and afternoon they have been evacuating a number of the schools including one called the ecole premier, students around 160 were evacuated and just moments ago we learned this school behind us you can see the shutters have been closed is about to be evacuated. There has been a large convoy of police vans presumably at some point to take away these students a colleague of mine just spoke with the mothers of some of the students who said that they are trying to keep the students calm by having them watch movies. Amy. And, alex, its your understanding negotiations are going on right now. Any idea of how that communication, if any communication is taking place between the suspects and the authorities . Reporter well this has been going on for quite sometime now so imagine they would have established contact with those two suspect, those two brothers quite early on. Now, whether this is a conversation or a negotiation is unclear. One might have to speculate that given the backgrounds of these two men, we know at least one went to yemen to be trained al qaeda that these are islamic extremeists so this might not be a negotiation. The concern for the police try to interthe situation without bloodshed. All right, Alex Marquardt there for us in france and, alex and terry, of course, will continue to cover these developing stories as they happen in france throughout the day. You can count on abc news for the very latest. In the meantime, we have more developments here at home.

Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision.

Now to our big finale in our gma resolution revolution week and its been an incredible week and we finish with an inspirational story, a hot new memoir called it was me all along. Telling the story of a young woman who loses half of her body weight and at the same time loses touch with herself. What should have been a night of celebration became a rude awakening. I made this chocolate cake for my 20th Birthday Party and i ended up eating the entire thing slice by slice by myself and felt such tremendous guilt afterwards. Reporter andie mitchell was a 20yearold, 59 and 269 pounds. The number was just terrifying to me. If i only ever gained weight throughout my life i felt like at some point id weigh 300, 315, 350 and that just it was sobering. Reporter a secret eater and sweets fanatic since childhood food had always been her trusted confidant. I loved anything sweet, any desserts or cakes, cookies, ate them when i was sad, ate them when i was happy and they just meant everything. Reporter determined to stop gaining and start living a healthy life, andie began her weight loss mission. I started eating better i started, you know cutting back on desserts i started running which was huge for me and eventually just got into this practice of trying to eat mindfully. Reporter but the struggle to find a balance was just the beginning. Because with each pound lost andie says she lost a part of herself. I wanted to make peace with food and i had to kind of find a new balance, a new way of life. Reporter and now her Journey Towards acceptance chronicled in her memoir it was me all along which struck a cord with women everywhere. One calling it lifechanging and powerful on facebook and another reader on twitter saying youre truly inspiring and all girls should read your book. She has come so far so lets see how andie is doing now. Come on out, andie mitchell. You can do it and look at andie now. Congratulations. Thank you. You look great. Thank you so much. Congrats on the book. It was me all along being talked about by so many women. Its so honest. The idea that losing all of that weight doesnt have all the and the. Right. You were saying in the book i thought it was so pivotal. When i lose when im thin ill be this. Ill be that and then you were thin and it wasnt the case. No. No. It wasnt the case. I mean, you know i think its easy to think that when you lose weight you know, your weight has been the cause of all your problems. And for me i found out when i lost weight that my problems were what caused a lot of my weight gain over the year. So what is the message, the takeaway from for women who sort of dream of that moment dream of looking like you and want to do it . I think its finding a new coping mechanism outside of food. I think its learning to eat mindfully, practice portion control and just recognize that you know there were some good things in your life that formed who you were when you were overweight and thats okay. It was always you and just kind of find the selfacceptance. I love the title it was me all along. And you have some food. Guy, bring it in. This stuff is delish. The cake is really an important story because you now say that this is the cake that you talk about you ate the whole thing. Yep. Made it for your own birthday. And now you can do it. Now you can. You can have how do you do that. First of all i would never turn down an offer for cake at 8 00 a. M. But if youre going to live a Healthy Lifestyle you have to find a way to incourt rate a lot of your favorite foods. Treat this. Maybe have it a few times a week and still be healthy and maintain your health. I want to ask you about a healthy lunch. Yes, so the easiest way to have a healthy lunch is have a salad. I have salad most days. You can marry the mixins, different protein, different dressings and find it super filling, a huge amount of vegetables that sets you up for the day. Why are we looking at egg rolls and lasagna rollups. These are great. These are wonderful. So you just you want to make sure that you are, you know practicing, you know moderation and moderation is key and everybody, we have the recipes. So sorry. It was me all along is in stores right now. Well be right back. Thank you. Sky6 live hd taking a live look at penns landing.

When i started off at 12 i wouldnt have predicted i would have been on a ship. I wouldnt have predicted i would have had command of a strike group. I think the service has changed and we become more inclusive in that were patriot. To protect and defend the constitution of the united states. What would you like to see happen in the next decade . Since you talked about girl power i would like to see girls understand our navy and our services. It becomes a plot that wow, thats something i can do and then go after it.
