(Full headline) Pictured: Two of the hostages shot by Islamic extremist during siege at Jewish grocery store, as it emerges one shopper was executed when he grabbed one of terrorist's guns and it JAMMED

excerpt-

One hostage is said to have snatched one of terrorist Amedy Coulibaly's guns in the kosher grocery.

Captive turned the weapon on the extremist - only to find it had been left on a counter because it was jammed

The first pictures of two of the four hostages killed in yesterday's kosher supermarket siege in Paris have emerged.

Yohan Cohen, 22, Yoav Hattab, 21, Philippe Braham, in his forties, and François-Michel Saada, believed to be in his sixties, were the four hostages killed in the attack, French Jewish organisation Crif confirmed.

Pictures of Mr Hattab, a Tunisian, and Mr Cohen can be revealed, 24 hours after the siege came to a climax as armed police raided the Jewish grocery.

All four men were murdered by Islamic terrorist Amedy Coulibaly, including one who is said to have snatched one of the extremist's guns and turned it on the hostage taker - only to find that the weapon had jammed.

The dramatic account was revealed by a survivor who fled the shoot-out as armed police officers and soldiers raided the store yesterday.

Mickael B, as he wishes to be known, was held in the store with his three-year-old son when the fellow hostage suddenly grabbed the weapon which had been left on the counter and tried to fire it at terrorist Amedy Coulibaly.

But, after discovering the gun had been left there because it was malfunctioning, the extremist shot and killed the heroic hostage.

It was worth a try. We know pleading for one's life doesn't work with these people.

Thanks....

The only thing that bothers me is that they now know precisely how LE works in this particular area.

Yeah, right.

What kind of rifles are the police carrying, with the wood stock and the vertical notch cut into the butt side?

Notice that the victims were all unarmed, unprotected, and unable to defend themselves against armed extremists; the guns were banned and only the criminals had guns.

Why are Progressives pushing for gun control?

Just asking.

IMHO

Why hasn’t this piece of human trash been buried in pig fat?

The wood stocked rifles appear to be first model issue RUGER Mini-14s. I bought one of the first back in 1976, and then they suddenly disappeared from American markets. They were all being sent to police units in France.
I remember seeing French riot police on TV armed with them back in the 1980s.

When guns are outlawed, only Islamic terrorists will have guns.

No wonder four unarmed Jews in France wound up dead.

I’m thankful liberals haven’t been able to impose their victim disarmament schemes here.

I am curious also. Look like Mini 14s.

Seven years ago, the same thing could have happened at a church in Colorado, except that an armed woman was there and ready to act. Instead of a mass murder, only four people were shot, two killed (not counting the murderer). Liberals will continue doing their utmost to keep our churches, streets, markets, and offices safe for thugs and murderers by disarming decent people.

They are not ‘islamic extremists’ or ‘jihadists’, they are just your garden variety muslims.

Definitely Mini 14 Ruger.

Hope they don’t need to hit something more than about 50 yards out, terrible accuracy with a factory barrel, however they are extremely reliable, much more reliable than any AR variant.

Islamic extremist

Well it's not the full "Islamic terrorist" yet, but we're halfway there ... at least they're saying that, while CNN, NY Times, WashPost, AP, White House, etc. still absolutely refuse to speak anything closely related to the word "Islam".
