remains on the loose. hundreds of troops deployed to help the thousands of police and security forces on patrol. top government officials are calling for quote extreme vigilance. >> lester is live in paris for us with a look back at the drama. lester you were near the grocery store. what is the latest this morning? >> reporter: peter, i think anyone who has been in paris the last several days had to wake up with a certain amount of relief. the fact is speaking to people on the streets of paris, there is a sense of dread and people are frightened about what may come next. let me show you the papers. this one essentially says "horror until the end." this one says "resist." think about the toll since wednesday. 17 innocent lives taken. three terrorists killed and a region traumatized after one horrific day. it was terror in split screen.

two hostage dramas 20 miles apart. a nightmare scenario for security forces. both ending in dramatic fashion. it started at 9:00 friday morning in an industrial area outside paris near charles de gaulle airport. the two suspects in the paris massacre hijacked a car and chased and exchanged gunfire. said and cherif kouachi stormed into a printing company and took a hostage and s.w.a.t. teams surrounded the place and helicopters flew overhead. children in nearby schools were sheltered inside and finally ushered out away from the danger zone. the drama unfolded under the path of de gaulle flight path. in paris itself more terror. hours before the jewish sabbath, a gunman holds a dozen people

hostage in a grocery store. >> very very bad. >> reporter: president hollande called it a terrify anti-semitic act. amedy coulibaly was identified as the associate as the kouachi brothers. they say he killed a police woman in a paris suburb on thursday. as a precaution businesses in the traditionally jewish district are ordered closed. during the standoff coulibaly spoke by phone with a french journalist. we only coordinated at the start. when they started "charles hebdo," i started with police. as evening came the twin hostage simultaneously. outside paris, the brothers made

a run for it in dammartin-en-goele. police opened fire and threw stun grenades. killing the man. the hostage was safe. in paris, police made their move on the supermarket. explosions and hail of gunfire. coulibaly cut down by s.w.a.t. teams. apparently as he rushes to the exit. 15 hostages are rescued, but sadly four others are dead. prosecutors believe that the four dead were killed by the terrorist, not in the hail of police gunfire. this is not over as we mentioned. a sense of trepidation and part of that is because of an outstanding suspect, an alleged accomplice of the man who took hostages in the grocery. we have nbc's bill neely with more on that story. >> reporter: good morning. more details emerging about the

deadly end to the sieges. the man, coulibaly, was hit by 60 bullets as he ran from the supermarket. he told hostages he is not afraid to die. it is either death or 40 years in jail. the crisis is not the gunman may be dead but accomplice is not. she is still on the run. she is a terrorist on the loose. photographed here with her partner, the man authorities say killed four hostages in the paris supermarket. french police say hayat boumediene is armed and dangerous. she knew all three gunmen well. hundreds of their phone calls intercepted by anti-terrorist police. two of the men had been prisoner prisonersprisoner prisoners together. her partner released months ago. they were all well known extremists. once recruiting men to kill u.s. troops in iraq. were they on their own?

are others ready to strike? >> the french will try to find out how far this network extends. we know for a fact these individuals have connections to al qaeda. >> al qaeda yemen. >> reporter: cherif kouachi said he was commissioned in yemen. his brother trained there for years ago. the supermarket killer said he was with isis and chosen a jewish target deliberately. this horror was the work of one cell. is this cell bigger? police and intelligence officers have a challenge ahead. french president francois holland called for unity. we tightened security he said so we won't face risk and threat. but the french jewish community is under imminent stress. an attack on the cabsabbath.

this city is on edge. extra anti-terrorist police remain. france says its government is on high alert. tomorrow erica, a major challenge for france. a major security challenge. the leaders of a dozen countries, including the prime ministers of britain, france and italy will be in the square for a rally to support democratic values. >> reporter: people still leaving tributes in the square. erica. >> still coming to pay tributes to the place behind you, lester. we learned the sense of dread which is understandable. you talked about nerves frayed about the people you ran into. when this dread, is there a sense that people are starting to take back their lives and shops opening again and people

going about their business or is it still a little too raw? >> reporter: i think people are trying to find their stride. in talking to folks, there is a sense of what's next? there must be another shoe that is about to drop. i talked about a horrific day, eric erica. i talked about watertown. the hunt for the boston marathon bombers. the sense of dread and sirens blaring all day. the report of someone in the subway and other hostage takings. we were in a middle of a situation and we looked out the car window and surrounded by police with guns pointing across the street. we didn't know what was going on. we're crouched behind vehicles. it turned out to be another false alarm with the overwhelming response. you will see that ratcheting down. it is still on edge here. very tense. >> understandably so. so many comparisons people have

talked about watertown. lester thanks. we will check in with you later in the show. michael sheehan is an nbc terrorist analyst and is chair at the center at west point. good morning. >> good morning, erica. >> lester pointed out the sense in paris of could this happen again and what is coming next? this is the attack that seems to have been very much under the radar despite the men being well known. at some point, being under surveillance. how did they go from being well known to carry out such in many ways a surprising attack? >> erica, the french will have time to review that. they made mistakes clearly. they were well known to officials. they had deep ties to al qaeda. both brothers had connections to al qaeda. one convicted of recruiting people to iraq. another gone to yemen and training in the arabian

peninsula. the girl was arrested for involve involvement in a plot with a 1995 bombing attack in paris. these three individuals were well known and slipped through the cracks. this attack was under the radar. the french will have some deep investigation and try to figure out what went wrong. >> the woman the manhunt underway for her currently. how dangerous is she? >> it is not clear. we have photos of her shooting with a crossbow and close with coulibaly. her boyfriend or associate. she is probably out there by her own right now not very dangerous. they will find her soon. the real issue is these guys had connections to a guy who is an aq recruiter in paris. this cell is going to have deeper connections with the french trying to unravel where the connections go to prevent any other cells from operating.

>> that is a major concern in france. terrorism laws were passed last month. why is there seemingly a larger issue with this in france? >> the cause in europe contracted to the laws in the united states are weaker. regarding travel to assist groups and fund raising and recruiting. people get off with light sentences like kouachi. if he was convicted in the united states he would have gotten 10 to 20 years for conspireing to work with a group known to kill. >> michael sheehan, thank you for being with us. >> you are welcome. the bitterly cold weather here at home grimpping the country. dylan is here with the forecast. >> it will stay cold. that also means icy on the roads. take a look at the video we saw

from this huge pileup in michigan. this is on i-94. nearly 200 vehicles were involved in the pipeup here. one caring crashing into another and one person killed and 22 injured in the pileup over the past couple days. these are the conditions we have been seeing. we also have extreme ice in parts of western and upstate new york. we have significant lake-effect snow. on the niagara river, chunks of ice. once you get the chunks of ice, you get ice jams. this is talawanda, new york. we will notice this over the next several days. it takes until next weekend before the pattern shifts and we lose the cold. we have windchill advisories from north dakota to western new york. lake-effect snow warnings where some areas near watertown have picked up three feet of snow. currently we have temperatures below zero. the feels-like temperature in

marquette, michigan is 26 below. as we go into high temperatures today, we will be running about 10 to 25 degrees below average. as for the snow, we could see an additional 1 to 2 feet of snow especially near watertown, new york and buffalo. when you get the winds off the water, it is relentless. >> it is the beginning of january. dylan, thanks. turning to politics. a familiar face in the republican party could be shaking up the race for the white house. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker has more. >> reporter: we are talking about mitt romney. he has been saying he will not run again, but now his tone has changed. he told a group of donors he is considering it as of friday. after a bruises defeat in 2010

what a horrific day yesterday. twin hostage takings, one 20 miles outside paris and the other at a kosher grocery store on the eastern edge of the city itself. both ending in explosions and gunfire. police are still looking for an accomplice hayat boumediene. an accomplice of amedy coulibaly. he is the man who took hostages at the grocery store. people here are very very on edge still. there is some sense of relief that this chapter is over but there is dread there may be more to come. president hollande said france is not done with the threats. whether he is referring to the climate in general or specific intelligence is not clear, but people feeling a sense of dread here. walking around we get that sense. even within the last hour there have been a couple more false alarms. reports of people with weapons. you hear the sirens race off after them. happy to hear they are false

fireworks which exploded. another truck had dangerous acid on board forcing residents to evacuate. the interstate was closed overnight as crews try to assess the damage and clean up the carnage. the video is more scary. surprising that the death toll wasn't higher. just staggering when you see the cars. >> there is nothing you can do. you see them coming. the guy taping. you can't warn them. >> reminder to everybody. slow down. >> i have driven in whiteout conditions. there are times when people are driving past you and driving like maniacs. there are times we are all driving 20 miles an hour in a straight line. you follow the car in front of you. that is what keeps everybody safe. when people start speeding in conditions you cannot see. it is crazy. >> thank you. and speaking of weather conditions there is a severe cold which is gripping the eastern half of the country. >> ice in texas.
