Updated at 6:28 a.m. ET: TOULOUSE, France -- A suspect wanted in connection with the killing three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school wounded three police officers in a shootout at a house in Toulouse, France, early Wednesday.

Interior Minister Claude Gueant said the 24-year-old man, who was under siege by hundreds of police officers in an ongoing standoff, claimed to be a member of al-Qaida and that he had shot dead the four out of "revenge for Palestinian children." He is also suspected by authorities of having killed three soldiers of North African origin last week.

Police sources told Reuters that another man had been arrested earlier Wednesday at a separate location in connection with the case.

Several hours after that initial raid at about 3 a.m. local time Wednesday (10 p.m. ET Tuesday), the alleged gunman threw a pistol out the window in exchange for a "communication device." Gueant said the man had said "he will turn himself in this afternoon."

Boy that sure lets those neo-Nazi haters off the hook, and also
Sarkozy and le Pen for inciting hate against immigrants and others.
