The weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo is known for its satirical and irreverent cartoons that included images of the Prophet Mohammed. 12 were killed including a police officer. Four of the magazine's founding cartoonists were killed in the attack. Eleven other people were injured. NPR reports several large French media companies united to send a letter of support to Charlie Hebdo's staff, offering to help them continue publishing and stressing the importance of "preserving the principles of independence and liberty of thought and expression."
