People across the globe have come out in support of the victims who lost their lives in the attack by unknown gunmen on the Paris offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.
According to Reuters, 12 people have been killed, including two police officers, when two masked gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at the Paris office of a satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The publication has previously courted controversy for its caricatures of Prophet Muhammad and has had its offices fire-bombed in November 2011. French President Francois Hollande was quoted by the BBC as saying that this was a terrorist attack "of exceptional barbarity."
