Holding “Boston Is Charlie’’ signs, a crowd stood in solidarity by the French Consulate in Boston on Wednesday evening to show support for the victims of a Paris shooting that targeted the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.

Three masked gunmen reportedly entered the offices of the magazine on Wednesday and killed 12 people, including writers, cartoonists, editors, and two policemen.

The terrorist attack was met with an outpouring of support for the French victims internationally, including at the French Consulate in Boston near Copley Square.
