Authorities killed two brothers on Friday believed to be responsible for gunning down 12 people during an assault on the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, according to CNN and the Mayor of Dammartin-en-Goele in France. A hostage they were holding was freed, according to the Mayor.
Shortly after the the brothers — Said Kouachi, 34, and Cherif Kouachi, 32 — were killed, another suspect believed to be tied to them who shot and killed a female police officer on Thursday in Montrouge (a southern suburb of Paris) was killed by French police after holding hostages at a kosher grocery store just outside of Paris.
