The words "Paris est Charlie" (Paris is Charlie) were projected onto Paris's Arc de Triomphe on Friday to honor victims of Wednesday's attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The two brothers suspected of killing 12 people in the Charlie Hebdo attack are dead after an hours-long standoff with police near Charles de Gaulle Airport. Simultaneously, another gunman who took multiple hostages at a kosher market in eastern Paris was also killed in a police raid. Police are still searching for a fourth suspect.
