The two suspects who fatally shot 12 in an attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo are reported dead after police surrounded the two men in a print shop in a northern industrial town in France.

The brothers Charif and Said Kouachi had taken one hostage, who was rescued safely by anti-terrorism forces after a shootout with the men ended in their deaths, according to Reuters.

French Prime Minister François Hollande, who called the suspects "terrorists," said, "I assure you, we will come out even stronger in this hardship."
