At least 10 people were killed in a shooting at French satirical news magazine Charlie Hebdo, prosecutors said Wednesday, NBC News reported. Benoit Bringer, a journalist with Agence Premiere Ligne who saw the attack, told the iTele network he saw several masked men armed with machine guns at the magazine’s headquarters in central Paris. The attackers reportedly escaped. Charlie Hebdo published cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad in 2012, forcing France to temporarily close its embassies and schools in more than 20 countries amid fears of reprisals. Its offices were also firebombed in November 2011 after publishing a caricature of Mohammed on its cover. France’s president called the shooting a “terror attack” and the country raised its alert to the highest level, The Associated Press reported.
