There were two shooters and a third man on the street, Klugman said, noting that authorities believe they may have identified the shooters and that they are French nationals. Their identities have not yet been confirmed, he said, but of the three suspects, two are brothers, 34 and 32, and an 18-year-old from the suburbs of Paris. The gunmen opened fire after interrputing an editorial meeting at the office of the Paris-based satirical newspaper in an attack that France's president called a "terrorist operation."
