French police are facing off with the two gunmen reportedly responsible for the shooting attack at the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo magazine that left 12 people dead on Wednesday.

After the attack in Paris, authorities said one of the suspected gunmen, 18-year-old Hamyd Mourad, surrendered to police at a station in Charleville-Mezieres, about 145 miles northeast of Paris, on Wednesday night. Mourad said he was in class at the time of the attack on the satirical magazine and was not involved in the shooting, a claim corroborated by his classmates.

Police carried out a raid in the city of Reims on Thursday, and revealed the identities of the two remaining suspects, brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, who claimed to be associated with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The brothers were reportedly seen robbing a gas station in Villers-Cotterets on Thursday before carjacking a Peugeot in Montagny Sainte Felicite on Friday. Local news footage shows police chasing the pair down the N2 motorway before ending up at Dammartin-en-Goele, a commune near Paris’ main Charles de Gaulle airport.

Gunshots were heard in the town, with at least two people reportedly seriously injured. At least one hostage was reportedly taken sometime when gunshots were heard. The latest reports state that the the duo are inside the facilities of a small printing company while police have them surrounded.
