I've been trying to keep up with the breaking news. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlie-hebdo-shooting#post-2016955 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:34:55 +0000 lamariniere 2016955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been following this very closely. My husband and children are French, so it definitely resonates with me. I was glued to French radio this evening and listened as the police forces intervened in the two hostage situations - it was very intense. </p> <p>I hope this is ok to post here, if not, I'll remove it. But this was one of the most moving jesuischarlie images I've come across.</p> <p>ETA: for those who don't know, the officer on the ground was shot at point blank just seconds after this picture was taken -- he was stationed as building security. </p> <p>[attach=3467/15/nhxaa7.587x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charlie-hebdo-shooting#post-2016931 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:18:07 +0000 mrbee 2016931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a tragedy. I can't stop thinking about it, and following the story. As a parent, I was especially affected by how the terrorists gained access to the building:</p> <p>&lt;&lt; Cartoonist Corinne "Coco" Rey reported that two armed and hooded men, speaking perfect French, threatened the life of her toddler daughter whom she had picked up from day care, and forced her to type in the code to open the door to the building. The men went to an office on the second floor, where the staff were in an editorial meeting with about 15 members in attendance. The shooting lasted five to ten minutes. Witnesses reported that the gunmen sought out members of the staff by name before shooting them execution-style. &gt;&gt;</p> <p>I can't imagine having to choose between the life of my child, and the life of so many of my co-workers. Just devastating. My heart goes out to all of the victims and families affected. </p>
