Again the
horror
in the vicinity of the former editorial staff of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, when the trial against its authors and collaborators is being held in the new Palace of Justice.
Two men attacked at least four people
with machetes
on rue Nicolás Appert, where the magazine was located before the 2015 massacre, at 11:45 a.m.
Two people are extremely seriously injured and the two attackers
fled through the Metro
Bastille.
Two press workers, in charge of production, from the Premier Ligne agency are the first victims because they smoked a cigarette outside what was the Charlie Hebdo newsroom.
A suspect was questioned on the Place de la Bastille when they noticed him covered in blood.
A suspicious package that the police were investigating at this time has been found in the former Charlie Hebdo newsroom.
The army was the first to arrive at the site, 100 meters from the square.
The entire area was closed off with security forces and military forces.
The press could not enter due to fear of a suspicious package.
Sirens and cars of the secret police were present.

The
Vigipirate device
, which was installed after the terrorist attacks in Paris, was launched when the French capital is on high alert for fear of a terrorist attack because of the trial for the attack on the magazine.
The authorities asked the population not to go near the area, which is covered
with security cameras.
“A serious attack is coming to be carried out in Paris, in the former office of Charlie Hebdo.
There are 4 injured and two in serious condition, ”said Minister Castex, who was in St Denis, and went to the area of the crisis cell.
Until now the parquet of Paris has not considered it a terrorist attack but all the devices
show it as such.
The new Charlie Hebdo newsroom is located in
an unknown place
, armored, guarded by the police 24 hours a day.

The Bastille district, in the east of Paris, and very close to the Marais has been shaken.
The police and the army
forced down the blinds
of the businesses, after they investigated if there were no suspects hiding inside.
They asked the neighbors not to leave their houses and report any suspicious movements.
Schools are closed like kindergartens and nurseries.
They also asked parents not to go pick up their children from schools.
The authorities demand that neighbors do not go out or open the doors of their houses and take all precautions because the attackers
are on the run
and it is not known exactly how many there are.
People ate lunch in area restaurants in the 11th district of Paris and were confined with the arrival of the police.
Nurseries and nursing homes have also been isolated.

The Bastille metro was closed and with the exception of the police, there are no people in the area.
They closed 5 schools and the operation also extended to
the IV district of Paris,
a city that was once again filled with sirens and police cars.
“People run home because the police isolate the area. All the boulevards and streets leading from the Place de la Bastille are covered with police.
Nobody understands what happens.
I managed to get out of the Bastille Metro and they closed it.
There I discovered a message from a friend who told me about an attack and not to take the Metro.
They have also stopped the buses and forced people to get off.
They are organizing security throughout the neighborhood, ”said Marie, arriving at work at noon.
The police are looking for the attackers in the neighborhood and they have completely isolated him.
