At least 12 people were killed Wednesday in Paris, during an assault on the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. The paper has a history of upsetting Islamic extremists through its satire of Islam. Three suspects were identified late Wednesday.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been flooding Twitter with messages of solidarity using the hashtag #jesuischarlie. Cartoonists have also been illustrating cartoons in reaction to the killings.
