[DAMMARTIN-EN-GOËLE, France] Two brothers suspected of slaughtering 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo magazine were killed on Friday when elite police stormed the building they were holed up in and freed a hostage unhurt, sources close to the investigation said.

As night fell explosions rang out when heavily-armed commandos made their move on a small printing firm in Dammartin-en-Goele northeast of Paris, killing the two massacre suspects. One police officer was injured.
