Victims At Jewish Grocery In Paris Honoured With #JeSuisJuif
|

Four hostages were killed at a kosher grocery store in Paris by a gunman police say had connections to the two men who attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo.

The gunman at the supermarket near the Porte de Vincennes metro station was killed in a raid by police Friday. The Charlie Hebdo gunmen were killed in a separate raid in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele near Paris.

All day, people have been taking to Twitter to honour those targeted for their religion. They are using the hashtag #JeSuisJuif ("I am Jewish")
