GUILLAUME SOUVANT / SIPA
The GIGN never managed to get in touch with the hostage taker.
The man who was entrenched Thursday evening in his business in Domont, in Val-d'Oise, killed his wife before turning the weapon against him, we learned from sources close to the investigation.
This man, born in 1962, had already been convicted of domestic violence against his partner, aged 44, with whom he had been in the process of divorce for a year, according to the Pontoise prosecutor's office.
Before the hostage-taking, around 7 p.m., this man born in 1962, first injured two of his employees, the first shot, while the second received shrapnel, said the prosecution, which opened an investigation for assassination, attempted assassination and forcible confinement.
The vital prognosis of the two injured people is not engaged.

A large security perimeter has been deployed around this landscaping company.
Around 10 p.m., the GIGN and a hundred gendarmes were still present in this town located about twenty kilometers north of Paris.
The GIGN was unable to make contact with the entrenched man.
A robot, sent to locate, then allowed the discovery of the two bodies.
