Repost from @TopRankRepost #TopRankRepost @the2ndqt PARIS — Two cops and 10 journalists were killed Wednesday when terrorists armed with guns and a rocket launcher stormed the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine famous for making fun of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed and Islamic leaders. The three shooters are still on the loose after they fled from the newsroom in Paris' 11th administrative district, about five miles from the Eiffel Tower. France raised its alert to the highest level Wednesday after President François Hollande called the shooting “a terrorist attack without a doubt.” While police have not determined a motive, the magazine tweeted a cartoon about ISIS's top terrorist just minutes before the shooting rampage. The office was once bombed in 2011after joking about Islam's prophet. “No barbaric act will ever extinguish the freedom of the press,” President Hollande wrote on Twitter Wednesday. Three gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles stormed the newsroom during an editorial meeting. Cartoonist Corinne (Coco) Rey told French newspaper L'Humanité that she was returning to the newsroom after picking up her daughter from daycare when the gunmen met her at the front door. They spoke fluent French and claimed to be with Al Qaeda, she said. At gunpoint, they forced Rey to enter the security code to the building and then stormed the office. She survived the attack. The terrorists asked for specific journalists by name during their gun rampage, French media reported. Stéphane (Charb) Charbonnier, the magazine’s editor, publisher and cartoonist, was killed in the attack, French media reported. --NYDailyNews.com #Paris #France #CharlieHebdo #MuslimProphetMuhammad #Islam #EiffelTower #FrancoisHollande #Kalashnikov #StephaneCharbonnier @nydailynews #wwsnews
