Paris: Shooting at Charlie Hebdo HQ ---- Hebdo is the Mad Magazine of France --- UPDATED CONSTANTLY

THIS IS A BIG STORY, FOLKS.

IMAGINE IF MUSLIMS MURDERED THE PEOPLE AT MAD MAGAZINE, THE STAFF AT BILL MAHER, OR TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE FROM SOUTH PARK.

THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. 

Another attack's been made at the office of the satirical weekly, and this time, tragically, there appear to be casualties of jihad:

Several people have been killed by armed gunmen in a shooting at the Paris offices of a satirical magazine, according to French media reports.

Shooting was heard at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine known for publishing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2012.

"Several men in black cagoules were heard to shout 'the Prophet has been avenged'", wrote Pierre de Cossette, a broadcast journalist with Europe1 News.

"I think there are casualties," said the publication's cartoonist, Renaud Luzier.

The magazine is based in Paris's 11th arrondissement.

It should be clearer than ever now that France is under siege by jihad, and this was bound to happen. But is the leftist government now in charge going to take effective action? There's no telling if they will.

REPORT: A Car Has Exploded In Front Of A French Synagogue

French media outlet Metronews reports that there's been a car explosion in front of a synagogue in Sarcelles, a city near Paris where two were two gunmen attacked the office of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo just hours earlier.
It is not clear whether the two events are connected. The Paris version of Metro reports that this event was an incident unrelated with the attack at the magazine.
The car was parked in front of a synagogue, and reportedly exploded at about 2.30 p.m. local time (1.30 p.m. GMT).
