End of a siege TERROR IN PARIS: Three gunmen killed in standoffs after wave of attacks that began with newspaper slayings, left 17 victims dead PARIS — A tense, dramatic day of spiraling crises that had paralyzed parts of Paris and its suburbs, drawn an army of law enforcement officers and shak- en the French government end- ed in bloodshed Friday, as the police conducted simultaneous raids in response to two hostage situations that had extended a wave of terror. At least 17 French citizens were killed by terrorists in the chaos, first in a massa- cre Wednesday at a satirical newspaper that some Muslims believed insulted the Proph- et Muhammad, and then in a roadside shooting Thursday and two standoffs Friday that left the gunmen and four of their hostages dead. The raids, led by heavily armed elite police units, unfold- ed nearly simultaneously on the eastern edge of Paris and north of the city — at a printing plant where the two brothers of Algerian descent suspected in the newspaper attack held a hostage, and at a kosher super- market where an armed associ- ate of African origin had lined the place with explosives and threatened to kill the shoppers at his mercy. In a solemn address to the na- tion Friday, President François Hollande called this week’s vio- lence, the worst spasm of terror- ism in France since the 1954-62 Algerian War, the work of “mad- men, fanatics” who had created “a tragedy for the nation that we were obliged to confront.” During the assault on the Hy- per Cacher supermarket, the TURN TO PARIS, PAGE A7 By DAN BILEFSKY and MAÏA DE LA BAUME NEW YORK TIMES La Marne 2 miles 2 km Charles de Gaulle Airport Dammartin-en-Goele Montagny Sainte Felicite Porte de Vincennes Montrouge Charlie Hebdo's office A1 N1 N3 N3 N2 E50 A15 N330 N104 A104 PARIS La Seine Terrorists seized hostages at two locations around Paris on Friday, facing off against thousands of French security forces.

CRISTA JEREMIASON / The Press Democrat Golden Gate Bridge laneworkers employ manually placed plastic lane pylons for the last time on Friday night. The art deco, distinctively orange Golden Gate Bridge shut down to all pri- vate vehicle traffic early today, the first prolonged closure of the iconic span in its 78-year history, which has its origins in Santa Rosa. At one minute past midnight, the six- lane bridge was to be closed, enabling workers to begin installation of a new median barrier designed to prevent crossover collisions, which have killed 16 people since 1970. The 1.7-mile bridge is scheduled to re- open at 4 a.m. Monday, in time to accom- modate the morning commute. Golden Gate Transit buses will cross the bridge, operating on a normal week- end schedule, and Golden Gate ferries will make extra trips from Larkspur and Sausalito to San Francisco. The schedule for buses and ferries is available at gold- engate.org/news/bridge/mmb_closure. php. The east sidewalk of the bridge will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians.
