Panic in Paris as 12 people are shoot dead after gunmen storm French carton newspaper offices for making Prophet Mohammed carton

According to Daily mail, at least 11 people reportedly killed in a shooting at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper firebombed in the past after publishing cartoons in 2011 joking about Muslim leaders.
There was no immediate official confirmation of deaths.

The news channel quoted a witness as saying he saw the incident from a building nearby in the heart of the French capital. 'About a half an hour ago two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs (guns). They came from the building opposite with big guns. It has a bunch of different companies inside. Some of our co-workers work there so we were frightened for them.They weren't just firing inside the Charlie Hebdo offices. They were firing in the street too. 

'We feared for our lives so we hid under our desks so they wouldn't see us. Both men were dressed in black from head to toe and their faces were covered so I didn't see them. 

'They were wearing military clothes, it wasn't common clothing, like they were soldiers.' 

 

A source close to the investigation said two men 'armed with a Kalashnikov and a rocket-launcher' stormed the building in central Paris and 'fire was exchanged with security forces.' 

There were reports that the gunmen were looking for people by name.  

The latest tweet published by the magazine's official Twitter account featured a cartoon of Abu Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State.

After the shooting, hundreds of comments were posted on the Charlie Hebdo Twitter page, with one user, David Rault, writing: 'A sad day for freedom of expression.'
