Let's hope for a quick resolution with the loss of no lives.

So in summary

- 2 prison escapees run into a church and take hostages - not clear if any of the hostages get hurt EDIT: 1 Hostage dead
- Police then storm the church and shoot dead the hostage takers

Don't mess with the French police!

Sigh. And all life is equally important. However it is natural to be more interested in things in your own back yard so why try to make a political point?
