French marines who rescued the family in question. That story is linked twice.

The Taiwanese fisherman killed is cited three times and there's one Yemeni in the first citation.

So, that's one hostage killed either by the hostage takers or the rescuers, one Taiwanese fisherman killed because the owners wouldn't come up with the loot and one Yemeni killed under "fishy circumstances."

58 people have died of gun deaths in the US the past three weeks, including 8 police officers.

So, yes they have killed, at least, two people. But for the number of hostages they have, 250, and the ridiculous number of ships they've taken, not exactly a global crisis worthy of a muscular military response.
