PARIS--The gunman who was shot dead by Paris police after taking hostages at a Jewish supermarket Friday phoned other people from the scene, urging them to stage further attacks, a security source said.

Amedy Coulibaly, 32, was killed in the climax of the siege, in which four hostages died.

His 26-year-old wife Hayat Boumeddiene is still being sought by police.
