Coulibaly may have shot, critically injured jogger before killing policewoman

The kosher market attacker, Amedy Coulibaly, may have been the gunman behind the lethal shooting of a jogger Wednesday night in the southwestern Paris suburb of Fontenay-aux-Roses, a source close to the investigation tells Le Point.

The shooting occurred hours after the Charlie Hebdo massacre and police suspect Coulibaly, who lived in the same suburb, was the shooter.

The 32-year-old jogger was shot in the leg and back by an automatic weapon, the source says.

Police confirmed Friday that Coulibaly was the gunman who shot and killed a policewoman in Montrouge on Thursday, a day after the jihadist Kaouchi brothers with whom he was working killed 12 at the satirical magazine’s offices.
