Shooting of jogger linked to policewoman’s killer

The shooting of a jogger in a Paris suburb on the same day as the Charlie Hebdo massacre has been linked to the gunman who killed a policewoman and four hostages at a kosher supermarket, a prosecutor has said.

In a statement, the prosecutor said ballistics tests on shell cases from the shooting in Fontenay aux Roses linked them to the automatic weapon at the kosher store stormed two days later. The prosecutor said the jogger was seriously wounded.

Amedy Coulibaly was killed when police stormed the supermarket. That raid took place minutes after security forces killed the brothers who carried out the massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo.
