At least 12 people were killed during a shooting at the headquarters of the satirical Charlie Hebdo weekly in Paris, police say. Two key suspects remain at large (see our latest post for UPDATES). The authorities had been hunting three suspects in the attack; they were reportedly identified by police late Wednesday, and multiple French MEDIA OUTLETS, citing a police bulletin, say they are two brothers, Said and Cherif Kouachi, and a third man, Hamyd Mourad. The Kouachi brothers, both in their 30s, are said to be French citizens; theres no word on the nationality of Mourad, 18. Mourad surrendered to police late Wednesday, according to multiple reports in French media. Its not clear whether he had a role in the violence; Mourads ID card was reportedly found in a CAR the gunmen used. Police have conducted operations related to their INVESTIGATION in Paris as well as Reims, some 90 miles to the east. Speaking to reporters at the scene of todays attack, President Francois Hollande said this was a terrorist operation in which journalists were cowardly assassinated.
