Yes, there has been an update at Al Jazeera from what I posted this morning above:

""In the end, Mohammed Merah jumped from the window with his gun in his hand, continuing to fire. He was found dead on the ground," he added.

Francois Molins, a French prosecutor, said Merah was killed after being shot in the head by sniper.

Molins said: "Weapons and ammunitions were recovered from scene of the siege and also materials for making Molotov cocktails."

"Everything was done to keep him alive, but he resisted and fired at police as he tried to escape through the window," he said."
