Paris: At least 12 people were killed when gunmen armed with
Kalashnikovs and a rocket-launcher opened fire in the offices of French
satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, said sources close to the
investigation.
The prosecutor's office confirmed that "at this stage" 10 people had been killed without detailing how many had been injured.
Another source close to the investigation said the number of dead had reached 12.
Deputy
Mayor of Paris Bruno Julliard earlier said "six people are seriously
injured", including a policeman. It was not clear whether these now
figured among the dead.
French President Francois Hollande
arrived at the scene of the shooting after rushing there and calling an
emergency cabinet meeting, the presidency said.
The government raised its alert level to the highest possible in the greater Paris region.
