(The tweeter above, who is on the scene, writes: “I don’t know yet, but people are talking about a robbery or a hostage-taking at the #Colombes post office.”)
A police officer told the Libération newspaper that the hostage taker was “a customer who seems to be off his head, talking about romantic disappointment”.
Another officer, Mickaël Cotrez, said that the hostages were taken after an armed robbery.
