After gunmen in Paris shot and killed at least 12 people in what French President Francois Hollande called a "terror attack" on the satiricial magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, supporters of the shooters are espousing gleeful reactions on Twitter.
Three masked gunmen shouted "Allahu akbar!" as they stormed the building, killing 10 journalists and two police officers, security officials confirmed. Charlie Hebdo has frequently drawn condemnation from Muslims; the magazine is known for frequently satirizing the Prophet Muhammad.
