On 7 January 2015, at about 11:00 CET (UTC +1) two or three masked men stormed the headquarters of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Early reports suggest that 12 people were killed and 10 injured. The gunmen entered the building and began shooting with automatic weapons—reports indicate up to 50 shots being fired. The incident is France's deadliest attack since the Paris massacre of 1961 during the Algerian War and the worst attack in peacetime.
