The Paris terror suspects are holed up at an industrial building near Charles de Gaulle airport with a hostage, and have told police they are ready to "die as martyrs".
One of the "heavily armed" Kouachi brothers turned up at the printing factory wearing black combat gear and a bulletproof vest and claimed to be a police officer. He then told a worker: "Get out of here, we don't kill civilians."
Helicopters are hovering overhead and armed police officers have flooded the area, surrounding Said and Cherif Kouachi. An army tank has been spotted nearby.
Residents of Dammartin-en-Goele are being told to stay at home, switch off the lights, and stay away from their windows. Hundreds of people are sealed inside some local office buildings, while several schools have been evacuated.
There have been reports that two people have been killed, but Paris prosecutors insist there have been no deaths.
Police are now negotiating by phone with the two suspects, whose hostage is reported to be a 26-year-old man.
At least two planes have aborted landing attempts at the airport as the situation unfolds.
Meanwhile an armed man has taken hostages at a grocery store in eastern Paris, with some reports claiming it is the man responsible for yesterday's policewoman shooting.
Sky's Robert Nisbet said the Dammartin-en-Goele operation is complex and the police are moving at a deliberately slow pace.
"What we are sensing here is no panic, they are taking this very slowly indeed. This operation is complex, this is not something they want to rush."
The stand-off follows a car chase on the N2 motorway earlier in which gunshots were fired between the men and police as their stolen car headed towards Paris.
Three helicopters have been hovering near the factory, close to the country's busiest airport.
A close-up image of one of the helicopters shows armed police sitting at the vehicle's open door with heavy weaponry ready.
