Police were last night searching for two brothers from the Paris region and a man from the northeastern city of Reims, over yesterday’s shooting at satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo, a police official and government source said.

Thousands of Parisians have gathered in La Place de La Republique to express their condolences and show their support for satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo after 12 people were killed earlier today, when hooded gunmen opened fire at the magazine's offices.

A massive manhunt has been launched for three fugitive gunmen who carried out a deadly terror attack on a French satirical magazine, killing 12 people.
