PARIS--The four people killed Friday at a Jewish supermarket in Paris were "likely" killed by the gunman at the start of the hostage-taking, the prosecutor leading the investigation said.

Pointing to the "state of the bodies" and gunman Amedy Coulibaly's own remarks in an French television interview from the scene, prosecutor Francois Molins said it seemed "no hostage was killed during the assault" by police that ended the siege.
