Description


Charlie Hebdo shooting

On 7 January 2015, at about 11:30 CET (10:30 UTC), two masked gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles, a shotgun, and an RPG launcher entered the offices of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris. The newspaper has attracted worldwide attention for its regular depictions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[5][6][7][12][13] The attack resulted in the deaths of 12 people, including the editor Stéphane "Charb" Charbonnier, eight other Charlie Hebdo employees, and two National Police officers,[14] while 11 others were wounded.[15][16][17]
