The way this thread is starting to derail was sadly predictable.

Just to sat that I feel truly horrified by the barbaric attack on Charlie Hebdo.

Why is it sad?  Why is it predictable?  What do you mean?

One of the suspects - the youngest one - has surrendered to the police.
I hope he got roughed up nice and good.

Nah, that would be the American solution to these kinds of things.

The French version is this:



To catch them, give them a trial and jail them for the rest of their life.

"Le Monde" is currently reporting about a new shooting at a Paris subway station.

A few police officers hurt, gunman on the loose.

There's no indication yet if there's a connection between this and yesterdays events.

This is absolutely horrific... My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who passed away, who were injured, and to their families and friends.

Also, while I'm no fan of terrorism of any flavour, this is by no means an excuse to jump on the whole "Ugh! I hate Muslims! All Muslims are terrorists!" bandwagon.

They're still looking for the two brothers. I really hope they catch them. Also no idea what to make of today's shooting. Hopefully there aren't more murderers on the loose.

Yepp. Where are they likely heading too ? Are they trying to cross the border(s) and head for Syria/Iraq ?

All the political leaders in France will offer full throated condemnations of such an attack, as they should.

Meanwhile most Muslims will qualify every condemnation of the initial shooting.

The killers have reportedly been localized. A friend of my brother's who is in the police said they have been seen on a highway heading to Paris.

They were seen in the Departement of Aisne (north of Paris). Really hope they catch them alive.

It will probably end in a long siege, hopefully before they can shoot more people.

Believe to be someone else. Shot at a routine traffic stop along with a municipal worker in southern Paris. Could be unrelated but the fact that the shooter was wearing a bullet proof vest and had an MP5 rifle makes me suspicious.

I'm fine with people not wanting to blame Muslims, but I find it disgusting, when people hear several people have been killed by two Muslim terrorist and the first they say is "oh no I hope they won't blame Muslims for this", even before anybody have blamed Muslims as a group for this.

Alice Petrén, foreign news Swedish Radio, says that the victims was not innocent, because Charlie Hebdo had publicised the Mohammed Cartoons.

She later say it was just a wrong choice of words*.
