9:07 AM PT: The news is not perfectly clear
Reuters reporting at least 4 hostages are dead
9:14 AM PT: Reported now 4 critically wounded
9:19 AM PT: The president will address the Nation at 8pm local
My optimism seems unfounded
11:15 AM PT: A demonstration is being planned here as well of the rest of France.
Everybody needs to get out the more the greater the message
