Police have confirmed that at least 12 people have been killed, 10 journalists and two police, in a shooting at the Parisian headquarters of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
A police union spokesman, Rocco Contento told French newspaper Libération that three men had entered the magazine’s offices at around 11.30am local time armed with Kalashnikovs and shotguns. “They opened fire on everyone, it was butchery, a real slaughter,” he said.
A source told French news channel France 2 that the magazine was holding their weekly editorial meeting when the attack took place with one Guardian reporter tweeting:
A manhunt is now underway to find the shooters with Le Point reporting that the anti-crime brigade are pursuing them 11th district of Paris.
AFP have reported that the attackers shouted “We have avenged the prophet”.
Reuters quoted a witness, Benoit Bringertold, as telling French TV channel iTele: "About a half an hour ago two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs. A few minutes later we heard lots of shots." He added that the men were then seen fleeing the building.
