The attacker who killed a police officer and hostages in a kosher supermarket is also connected to an attack in which one person was seriously injured in the suburbs of Paris, on the same day as the attack on the Charlie Hebdo editorial office, the prosecution announced today.

Ballistic tests confirm that shell casings found after the January 7 attack in the Fontne au Roz neighborhood are linked to the automatic weapon used by Amedi Coulibaly two days later.

The prosecutor's office announced that a person who was jogging recreationally suffered serious injuries in that attack.

Coulibaly was killed in a police operation after taking hostages in a kosher supermarket, demanding that the police release the Kouashi brothers, who killed 12 people in an attack on the editorial office of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Four hostages were found dead.
