Shooting at Paris Offices of Charlie Hebdo

There was a shooting at the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo earlier today.

The two gunmen were dressed in black and used automatic weapons and what are believed to be AK-47's. It has been confirmed that they killed at least 11 people in the offices.

The attacks came one day after the magazine announced that Muslim Prophet Muhammad would be the editor-in-chief for the next issue.

The shooters asked for employees by name, and shouted out "Allahu Akbar" (God is the greatest).

French President Francoise Hollande has already called the attacks terrorism. British Prime Minister Cameron said that the attacks in France are sickening, and that Britain stands with the people of France.
