President Obama Wednesday said his administration would “help bring these terrorists to justice,” as gunmen responsible for killing at least 12 people in Paris remain on the loose.
“I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris that has reportedly killed 12 people,” Obama said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time. France is America’s oldest ally, and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world.”
Earlier Wednesday, masked gunmen stormed the office of the satirical newspaper, opening fire in the Paris building, before fleeing the scene. The French government has since raised the terror alert to the highest level.
For his part, Obama said France and the city of Paris would move past the tragedy.
“Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended,” Obama said. “France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers. We are in touch with French officials and I have directed my Administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice.”
