Arsenal's Arsene Wenger "shocked" by 'Charlie Hebdo' shooting in Paris

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expresses his 'shock' following the shooting of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo magazine headquarters in Paris.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that France is "united" following the "shocking" attack on Paris-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Twelve people, including two police officers, were killed by two gunmen, who stormed the publication's headquarters in the country's capital on Wednesday.

"It's [a] dreadful and terrible situation," Wenger, who was born in Strasbourg, told reporters. "Shocking. The whole country is shocked.

"To think, in a country like France, you can die for your ideas or how you want to speak, is absolutely shocking. France is a country with a big history of free speech. At the moment, the whole country is united."

Suspects Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, are being hunted by police.
